§ Mr. Dixonasked the Minister of Transport how many new road constructions that he has approved, especially those linking residential areas with industrial and shopping areas, have provision for cycleways.
§ Mr. FowlerI am afraid this information is not available because local authorities are responsible for this type of road provision and their schemes do not require my approval.
I wish, however, to see cycling given proper priority in the planning nad regulation of transport. I therefore announced in the House on 25 June that I have commissioned a review of cycling policy and I propose to publish a consultation paper shortly.
