§ The Minister for Transport (Mr. John Spellar)I have written to Sir Trevor Chinn, the chairman of the Motorists' Forum, welcoming their report on car sharing and car clubs and enclosing the Government's response. The response outlines further support that the Government will give to work in this field, in particular
continued funding for an advisory service on car clubs and formal car sharing schemes;further research to monitor car clubs in circumstances that offer the most potential for success, for example where they may help to achieve higher densities in new residential developments than might otherwise be the case; andfurther research on formal car sharing schemes in institutional settings, such as the workplace, with a view to publishing best practice guidance later next year.Copies of my letter and the Government response have been placed in the Libraries of the House.
