HC Deb 28 February 1983 vol 38 cc40-1W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will send a reminder to local authorities of the importance of cycle provision in their next annual transport policies and programmes, in view of the substantial increases in cycle use since the last transport policy programmes were approved.

Mrs. Chalker

I have every intention of doing so.

Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he is satisfied with progress towards implementing large-scale cycle demonstration projects, as announced in his policy statement of January 1982.

Mrs. Chalker

Yes. Tentative proposals from local authorities have required considerable development before a sensible decision could be made on which to adopt. That stage is now being reached.
