§ Mr. BrakeTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many motorcycle parking spaces exist at each office or site for which his Department is responsible; and how many are secure spaces. [55253]
§ Mr. Ron DaviesThere are several secure areas of the car park at my Department's head quarters in Cathays Park specifically dedicated to motorcycles. There is provision at other offices for motorcycling parking.
Measures to increase the proportion of motorcycle users are being considered as part of the development of green transport plans for buildings occupied by my Department and its agency.
§ Mr. ÖpikTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales for what reasons motorcycles were not included in the policy document "Transporting Wales into the Future"; and if he will make a statement. [55399]
Mr. Jon Owen JonesChapter 3 of the transport White Paper "A New Deal for Transport—Better for Everyone" covers the role motorcycling can play in the development of an integrated transport policy. Paragraph 1.3 of our Welsh Transport Policy Statement "Transporting Wales into the Future" explains that the general policies set out in the White Paper apply equally in Wales. I did not think it necessary to repeat them all in the Welsh document.
