§ Viscount Castlereaghasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that on many roads where special tracks are provided for pedal cyclists the great proportion of these cyclists continue to use the main road; and whether he will take steps to stop this practice?
§ Mr. BurginI am aware that pedal cyclists do not always use the special tracks where these are provided, but I understand that these tracks are appreciated by the great majority of cyclists. I am desirous that cyclists should use cycle tracks and am making arrangements for further and longer tracks to be provided. Until adequate facilities exist, no comprehensive steps with regard to cyclists can in my view be taken.
