HL Deb 29 June 2000 vol 614 c101WA
Lord Berkeley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have to participate in the European Union's car free day on Friday 22 September; and what advice or encouragement they are giving to local authorities to support it. [HL3003]

Lord Macdonald of Tradeston

We are considering whether to sign a declaration drawn up by the European Commission in support of the European car free day on 22 September. We have taken the view that it is for individual authorities to decide whether, and if so how, to support the initiative, taking into account local circumstances.
