§ 20. Mr. Dormandasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the progress of the implementation of the Government's cycling policies.
§ Mrs. ChalkerAll the initiatives in our cycling policy statement of January 1982 continue to be pursued. The new Pedal Bicycles (Safety) Regulations were laid before the House last Friday. Innovative cycle schemes have now been funded in Greater London and 10 other counties, and we are now assessing the proposals we have invited for several large area schemes. Forty-nine conversions of disused railway lines are open to the public. There will be a further regional pedal cycle safety campaign later this year.
