HC Deb 25 June 1980 vol 987 c186W
32. Mr. Steen

asked the Minister of Transport if he will take steps to assist the increased volume of commuter cyclists travelling in and out of congested inner city areas; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Yes, although steps of this kind are primarily for local highway authorities to take in the light of local circumstances. The Department has published technical advice and we are prepared to contribute to the cost of experimental schemes. We are considering what more we can do to help.
