John Hayes: Public hire schemes are an important part of extending provision and making cycling more widely available. As the hon. Lady will know, different schemes apply in different localities.

John Hayes: ...improvements in air quality and transition to a low-emission economy. Measures that could be implemented include the promotion of ultra-low emission vehicles; upgrading buses and taxis; promoting cycling schemes; and, in the worst cases, charging for the most polluting vehicles. In 2015 we named five cities, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Derby and Southampton, that are required to...

John Hayes: ..., as well as to those who have taken a leading role, if I may put it in those terms, on both sides of the House. Bigger, better, well-funded roads; more straightforward planning; safer fracking; a cycling strategy; and we have saved the beaver. What’s not to like? The Bill deserves its Third Reading. Question put and agreed to. Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.

John Hayes: I will address matters in reverse order to add excitement. On cycling and spending, I said at the outset, but repeat for the sake of clarity, that this Government have committed to spend £374 million between 2011 and 2015.

Infrastructure Bill [Lords]: New Clause 13 — Cycling and Walking Investment Strategies (26 Jan 2015)

John Hayes: ...—that is, the Bill, which sets in motion a road investment strategy about which I shall wax lyrical in a moment.

That case was made by cyclists here in the House and beyond, and it is a persuasive one. The hon. Gentleman can look forward to the achievement of his ambitions...

Infrastructure Bill [Lords]: New Clause 13 — Cycling and Walking Investment Strategies (26 Jan 2015)

John Hayes: I rise with some enthusiasm because, as the House knows, cycling has moved up a gear as a result of this Government.

Public Bill Committee: Infrastructure Bill [Lords]: Clause 3 - Road Investment Strategy (16 Dec 2014)

John Hayes: That was not deliberate, but I wish it had been. The hon. Member for Birmingham, Northfield understandably devoted a good deal of time to discussing cycling and walking. It is perfectly reasonable to argue that we should take proper account of cycling and walking in our broader considerations of how future transport supply and demand will develop. I wholly agree with the hon. Gentleman about...

There is a £300-million environmental fund to mitigate...

Roads in Sittingbourne and Sheppey (26 Nov 2014)

Oral Answers to Questions — Transport: Road Congestion (23 Oct 2014)

John Hayes: It is a hallmark of this Government that we have taken cycling as seriously as we have, and that is in no small measure due to the work of the Under-Secretary, my hon.
