HC Deb 26 July 1983 vol 46 c399W
Mr. Stuart Holland

asked the Secretary of State for Transport which local authorities have applied for funds to build experimental cycleways.

Mrs. Chalker

The following local authorities have received funds under the Department's innovative programme—Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Cleveland, Derbyshire, Essex, GLC, Lancashire, North Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Surrey and West Sussex.

In addition, proposals for large area urban cycle schemes have been received from Bedfordshire, Cleveland, Devon, Essex, Kent, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Wiltshire.

Mr. Stuart Holland

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the Department of Transport budget for experimental cycleways.

Mrs. Chalker

Support for experimental cycling schemes depends on the number, nature and timing of the schemes that are proposed by local authorities. It amounted to £95,000 in 1982–83.
