37. Ms Stuart

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what progress he has made with his walking-to-school initiative; and if he will make a statement. [73449]

Ms Glenda Jackson

We established the School Travel Advisory Group in December to identify practical action to reduce car use and improve safety on the journey to school, including ways of encouraging walking to school. Guidance for local authorities and schools is in preparation and will be published in late spring 1999.
