[holding answer 18 May 2007]: I met my hon. Friend the Member for Islington, South and Finsbury (Emily Thornberry), chair of the All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group, on 7 September 2006, to discuss the concerns of some cyclists about the proposed changes to the Highway Code, following the public consultation. In all, 43 changes were made to the original draft in response to representations made by cyclists and cycling groups.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions have taken place with representatives of cycling organisations on the new version of the Highway Code; and if he will make a statement. (138293)

I refer my right hon. Friend to the answer I have given today to the hon. Member for Dundee, West (UIN 137924).
