HC Deb 24 October 1949 vol 468 c81W
12. Mr. Carson

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will now take steps to make it compulsory for pedal cyclists to use bicycle tracks where these are provided.

Mr. Barnes

My policy is to encourage cyclists in accordance with the Highway Code to make fullest use of cycle tracks. I prefer at present to rely on their co-operation rather than to use compulsion.
