Conservative, Mid Sussex
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of cycle lanes on traffic in London.
Andrew Jones
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
No assessments have been made. The management of the Transport for London Road Network (or London’s “red routes”), including decisions on how much road space to allocate to cycle lanes and the impacts of that on other traffic, is a matter for the Mayor of London. The management of all other London roads is a matter for individual London boroughs.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
