§ Mrs. RocheTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to introduce more cycle routes in(a) London and (b) the royal parks.
§ Mr. NorrisResponsibility for the provision of cycle routes in London rests primarily with the 33 London local authorities. The Government are supporting provision of the 1,000 mile cycle network in London which is being developed by the London Cycling Forum. Approximately a third of the network is in existence or in preparation. We are also supporting Sustrans' promotion of a "Thames cycle route" between Hampton Court and Dartford.
The royal parks are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for National Heritage.
