HC Deb 24 January 1979 vol 961 c190W
41. Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement about the operation of the Transport Act 1978 as it relates to facilities for cyclists.

Mr. Horam

Section 12 makes it clear that local authorities have powers to provide stands and racks in the highways for parking bicycles. Authorities are not required to notify the Department when exercising these powers.
