HC Deb 28 July 1998 vol 317 c221W
Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what proportion of the employees of his Department and of the employees of each agency for which he is responsible cycle to work; and what measures he plans to increase that proportion. [52669]

Mr. Kilfoyle

For the purposes of this question this Department includes the Office of the Prime Minister. My Department and its agencies do not formally monitor the use of the cycling parking facilities that are available. Consequently, we cannot give an estimate of the number of employees that cycle to work.

Measures to increase the proportion of employees cycling to work are being considered as part for the development of green transport plans for buildings occupied by the Department and its agencies.

Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what parking facilities for cycles exist at each office or site for which his Department is responsible and for each agency for which he is responsible. [52668]

Mr. Kilfoyle

The Cabinet Office and its Agencies have a total of 203 cycling spaces in their buildings, broken down as follows:
