HC Deb 25 March 1981 vol 1 c337W
40. Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps have been taken in the last two years to facilitate safer commuter cycling in the United Kingdom's towns and cities.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Cycling facilities in urban areas are, in general, the responsibility of local highway authorities. We have provided technical advice and financial support for a number of schemes in towns aimed at safer cycling and we are considering how best to extend this support.
