HC Deb 10 May 1995 vol 259 c458W
Mr. Gapes

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to start a publicity campaign to discourage people from using their cars for shorter journeys. [23518]

Mr. Norris

The Government take opportunities in their advice to motorists to encourage them to walk or cycle or to use public transport where it is safe and reasonable to do so. I have no current plans for a wider campaign, although I am following with close attention the efforts of local authorities, including Hertfordshire and Hampshire, where transport awareness programmes are underway.
