To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment he has made of the potential merits of walking and cycling for saving money, in the context of rising transport costs.
Jesse Norman
Minister of State (Department for Transport)
The Government agrees that walking and cycling are an inexpensive and healthy way of getting around and an excellent way of helping people save money on their everyday travel costs, which is why we have already invested £600 million since the start of the pandemic in enabling more people to make these choices for their local journeys.

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.
