Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Michael Fabricant and Tom Brake

Thursday 9th June 2016 Commons Chamber

[Michael Fabricant (Lichfield) (Con)]

It is not just a question of cycles being able to enter the estate; it is a question of the danger to cyclists. As a car turns in—I have had this experience in a car—it has to cut across the cycle lane and there is a real risk that, if the driver is not really attentive, a cyclist may hit the car and be in danger of death.

[Tom Brake]

I agree with the hon. Gentleman that it is certainly important that car drivers are attentive to the risks cyclists face every day as they cycle through London.
