HC Deb 08 September 2003 vol 410 c278W
Mrs. Anne Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to publish a National Walking Strategy; and if he will make a statement. [128613]

Mr. McNulty

The Department issued a discussion document on walking on 30 June. "On the move: by foot" seeks views from all interests on how we might improve conditions for pedestrians and increase levels of walking. Responses to the document have been requested by 26 September and will help to inform a strategic action plan of measures and initiatives to encourage more journeys on foot and identify any related guidance required.
