§ 45. Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Lord President of the Council if he will take steps to extend the provision for the bicycles of hon. Members in the Palace of Westminster.
§ Mr. Bruce-GardyneI thank my right hon. Friend for that most encouraging reply. Is he aware that today five bicycles, presumably belonging to hon. Members, were crushed into three bunks, one of them ostensibly reserved for my right hon. Friend the Member for Harrogate (Mr. Ramsden)—not that I begrudge him that? Is it not a reasonable expectation that a great many right hon. and hon. Members will be following the example of those of us who discovered years ago that a bicycle is much the most efficient way of getting around London? Will he reserve a portion of the new car park—say, half—for the use of bicycles?
