HC Deb 25 January 1980 vol 977 cc425-6W
Dr. Glyn

asked the Minister of Transport if he will give a general direction to British Railways to allow the carriage of bicycles on all trains.

Mr. Fowler

I refer the hon. Gentlemen to the answer which I gave the hon. Member for Lambeth, Central (Mr. Tilley) on 21 January.—[Vol. 977. c. 91–2.]

Dr. Glyn

asked the Minister of Transport if he will undertake a study of the energy savings which would result from the use by commuters, both before and after railway journeys to central London, of bicycles rather than energy-consuming means of transport.

Mr. Fowler

I am afraid it would not be possible at reasonable cost to mount a study that would give reliable information.
