§ Jeremy CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimates he has made of the(a) number of regular cyclists and (b) number of cycle miles travelled in Greater London in each year since 1997. [79633]
§ Mr. JamiesonIn our National Travel Survey over the period 1999–2001, about 10 per cent. (700,000) residents of Greater London said they cycled at least once a week and about a further 7 per cent. (500,000) said they cycled at least once a month. Figures are not available for single years.
Estimates for pedal cycle traffic in London for the years 1999 to 2001 are estimated to be 340, 320 and 320 million vehicle kilometres respectively. Estimates for 1997 and 1998 will be available by mid-2003.
