§ 15. Mr. Dormandasked the Secretary of State for Transport what further action he proposes to take to encourage local authorities to improve facilities for cyclists.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThis year's transport policies and programme submissions show that almost all county councils are considering the needs of cyclists and providing facilities for them. I recently announced a programme of large-scale urban cycle schemes.

§ Mrs. ChalkerComrehensive information is available centrally only for those innovatory schemes which the Department is supporting financially. They were listed in my reply to the hon. Member for Vauxhall (Mr. Holland) on 22 November, [Vol. 49, c.154–5.]
