HC Deb 07 November 1995 vol 265 c769W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what measures exist, or are proposed, to increase cycle use to 10 per cent. of all urban journeys by 2005. [41757]

Mr. Norris

We have taken a number of initiatives which are designed to encourage and increase the number of people cycling. I announced in June this year that we intended to identify national targets for more cycling use. The steering group that we have set up to generate a national strategy for cycling will consider what targets are most appropriate.
