Volume 455: debated on Monday 22 January 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions he has had with cycling campaign groups on the draft highway code and on the use of cycling facilities. (110763)

Cyclists and cycling groups have been fully consulted on the proposed revisions to the code and many of them have taken the opportunity to comment.

In addition, I met my hon. Friend the Member for Islington, South and Finsbury (Emily Thornberry), chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cycling on 7 September 2006, to discuss cyclists' views on the proposed revisions to the highway code. This has been the only Ministerial meeting, on the revision of the code, with any road user group.

We are now considering all the comments received on the revision to the highway code and the new edition will be published in mid 2007.
