Roads: Cyclists

Debate between Viscount Bridgeman and Earl Attlee

Wednesday 13th October 2010 Lords Chamber

[Earl Attlee]

My Lords, it is a legal requirement to have a rear light, a rear reflector and a front light. It is not a legal requirement to carry reflective clothing, but the Highway Code recommends that proper clothes—reflective clothes at night and fluorescent clothes during the day—are worn at all times when riding a bike.

[Viscount Bridgeman]

Will the Minister be assured that the All-Party Group on Cycling, of which I have the honour to be a member, sets an example for all to follow?

[Earl Attlee]

I am very grateful to hear that.
