§ Mrs. LiddellTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many projects have benefited from the cycle challenge fund; and if he will list them. [18381]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe Scottish Office cycle challenge was announced in December 1996. Its aim is to offer grant support in 1998–99 for innovative cycle projects designed to encourage an increase in cycle use. The closing date for applications is 15 June 1997. No applications have yet been received. It is hoped that decisions on successful projects will be announced by December 1997.
