To ask the Leader of the House what tax efficient schemes for the purchase of bicycles his Office makes available to its employees; how many and what percentage of his Office’s staff purchased bicycles through such schemes in 2005-06; whether the schemes are available through a range of suppliers; and whether arrangements are made to enable staff with disabilities to purchase adapted bicycles from a specialist supplier.

Staff in the Office of the Leader of the House of Commons are part of the Privy Council Office, which provides administrative support. The Privy Council Office does not operate a tax-efficient scheme for the purchase of bicycles but does offer interest free loans to staff for this purpose.
