HC Deb 19 January 1983 vol 35 c156W
27. Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the progress being made by local authorities in providing improved facilities for cyclists in their areas.

Mrs. Chalker

Since the publication of our cycling policy statement last January, many more authorities have declared their intention of providing improved facilities for cyclists, including the conversion of disused railway lines, the provision of innovatory junction arrangements, and the planning of area-wide networks.
