19. Mrs. Calton

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on his Department's strategy for(a) increasing cycling journey numbers and (b) reducing cycling injuries and deaths.[145883]

Mr. McNulty

We are improving cycling infrastructure and, having initiated the Cycling Projects Fund, we have given over £4 million for local cycling facilities and training. On the safety front, we are promoting training and measures which cyclists can take to protect themselves, such making themselves conspicuous. We are also improving training and testing for motorists.
