§ Mr. NorrisThe national cycling strategy will be launched at a conference in London on 10 July. It is a consensus document, which we hope will be widely adopted by local authorities, other public bodies, and commercial interests. The Department of Transport endorses the main thrust of the strategy and will be contributing to the actions proposed, and other Government Departments are likely to do so as well. It is 71W expected that the strategy will continue to evolve, and to adjust to circumstances, under the aegis of a standing national cycling forum.
