Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will set up a national motorcycle strategy group to discuss the role of motorcycling in an integrated transport policy. [20626]

Ms Glenda Jackson

My noble Friend the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Baroness Hayman, invited representatives of a wide range of groups including motorcyclists, pedestrians, cyclists and environmentalists, to a special seminar on 25 November to discuss the role of motorcycling in integrated transport. This discussion provided valuable information for us to consider policies on motorcycling in the integrated transport White Paper to be published next year.
