Written Answers
Cycling: Pupils
Asked by: Alex Ballinger (Labour - Halesowen)
Monday 17th November 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure more children are able to cycle safely to school.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

Active Travel England provides funding to The Bikeability Trust to deliver Bikeability cycle training to children in England (outside London). In addition, active travel revenue funding can be used by local authorities to deliver cycle training and engagement programmes outside of Bikeability.

On 19 November 2024, Active Travel England and the Department for Transport published guidance for local authorities in England on how to set up and manage a School Streets scheme. School Streets can improve the experiences of a school’s pupils, staff, visitors, and neighbours alike at peak school arrival and departure times.

In the joint statement (issued 2 July 2025) on walking, wheeling and cycling, the Mayors of England’s Combined Authorities committed to transforming the school run by delivering high-quality, safer routes in neighbourhoods nationwide.

Building Societies: Individual Savings Accounts
Asked by: Alex Ballinger (Labour - Halesowen)
Monday 17th November 2025

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of reducing the maximum amount that can be added to a cash ISA on small building societies.

Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury)

The pricing of mortgages is a commercial decision for lenders in which the Government does not intervene. However, mortgage rates are influenced by a range of factors, including Base Rate, which has been cut five times since this Government came to power.

ISAs incentivise saving and investment for future goals by providing tax advantages to individual taxpayers. The Government recognises the important role that cash savings play. The Government continues to consider reforms to ISAs and savings to achieve the right balance between cash savings and investment and ensure better outcomes for both savers and the UK economy.
