National Networks National Policy Statement (26 Mar 2024)

Matt Rodda: ...which are somewhat behind with their pothole filling. Other matters that many people see as strategically important but are not under the statement’s remit include the encouraging of walking and cycling. Only 1% of the transport budget is spent on those important areas, yet their benefits to the country are huge. As we heard earlier when considering the Pedicabs (London) Bill, shifting...

Christopher Chope: ...have much difficulty in being able to pass the regulatory requirement of knowing the location of central London and how to get around it. I also thank the London Pedicab Operators Association and Cycling UK, both of which have helped me in putting questions about the Bill.

Greater London Low Emission Zone Charging (Amendment) Bill (22 Mar 2024)

Kim Leadbeater: My hon. Friend makes an important point about active travel. I am a massive fan of active travel, as I know colleagues present are too, but if we are to get more people walking, cycling, wheeling and running, we need decent air quality in every town and city across the country. That is why it is so important to have things that bring air quality back to an acceptable standard.

Transport: Active Travel: Newcastle upon Tyne (21 Mar 2024)

Chi Onwurah: Walking and cycling prevent 1,500 serious long-term health conditions on Tyneside every year, according to the walking and cycling index, and they bring in £400 million in economic benefits, so it is no wonder that half of Tynesiders want to walk or wheel more, and that two fifths want to cycle more, but if they are to do that, the streets need to be made safer. What is the Minister doing,...

3. Debate: Final report of the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales (19 Mar 2024)

Mark Drakeford: ...the settlement, the future of the Welsh tennis court is now decided in Whitehall, rather than in Wales. The 2017 Act means that we are, in this Chamber, responsible for road, for rail, for cycling, but we're explicitly prevented from taking control of the Welsh hovercraft. Now—[Interruption.] Well, I see marches up and down Wales. [Laughter.] But the absurdity of the current settlement...

Many of these disused mines are nestled in scenic areas, with current footpaths, cycling paths and other developing tourism infrastructure. So, I'd just be interested to know what the Welsh Government is doing to help clean up and restore our disused metal mines across Wales, and...

Public Bill Committee: Automated Vehicles Bill [Lords]: Clause 2 - Statement of safety principles (19 Mar 2024)

Bill Esterson: ...accept the change to “careful and competent” despite the fact that that is not set out in statute, so why strengthen safety in that way but not in this one? These amendments have the backing of Cycling UK, which my hon. Friend the Member for Easington mentioned, and for similar reasons. Cycling UK says that we need “a step-change in road safety”, not just a marginal improvement. It...

I would like to add that that is a position supported by Cycling UK, as stated in the written evidence submitted to the Committee.

In it, he said that 'the Welsh Government is committed to see public transport, walking and cycling trips account for 45% of journeys by 2040' to help meet carbon emission targets. Now, for many across Wales, First Minister, this is simply not doable with an unreliable public transport...

They've almost completed an epic bike ride from Edinburgh to Rome—yes, you heard me—all the way from Scotland to Italy, linking up all the six-nation rugby stadiums as they go, cycling through Dublin, Cardiff, London and Paris on their way.
