CYCLE USE

Early day motion 1395, tabled 8 June 1998 by Lord Robathan (Conservative). Signed by 50 members.

That this House notes that in spite of the target in the National Cycling Strategy to double cycle use form 1996 to 2002, figures in Transport Statistics for Metropolitan Areas 1998 show that cycle use as a proportion of all trips is still declining; therefore expects the White Paper on an integrated transport policy and the subsequent regulations and guidance to include measures specifically designed to make cyling more attractive and increase cycle use; and welcomes the many events to promote cyling taking place all over the United Kingdom as part of Halfords National Bike Week with an estimated participation of at least 300,000 people.

Signatures by party: Labour 24, Liberal Democrat 15, Labour/Co-operative 5, Conservative 4, Plaid Cymru 1, UUP 1.
