Cycling: Highway Code
Asked by: Alison Bennett (Liberal Democrat - Mid Sussex) Friday 16th October 2026 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps, if any, the Department is taking to educate drivers about the Highway Code’s guidance on passing distances when overtaking cyclists. Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The THINK! Campaign runs year-round radio filler adverts encouraging compliance with the guidance to improve safety for those walking, cycling and horse riding. These were updated in 2025 to include specific messaging about the safe passing distances for cyclists and horse riders. We will continue to promote the changes via THINK! and Department for Transport social media channels, as well as through partner organisations.
As our road environment and technologies evolve, providing education for all road users throughout their lifetime is vital to improving road safety. As set out in the Road Safety Strategy, this Government will publish for the first time national guidance on the development and delivery of road safety education, training and publicity. Alongside this, we will publish a manual to support the implementation of a Lifelong Learning approach for road safety.

Asked by: Alison Bennett (Liberal Democrat - Mid Sussex) Monday 19th October 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what timetable HMRC has set for its review of Benchmark Scale Rates for employee subsistence; and whether that review will consider (a) increasing the five-hour and ten-hour meal allowance rates to reflect current food and drink costs and (b) introducing a mechanism for those rates to be regularly uprated in future. Answered by James Murray - Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General In June 2026, the Government announced a review of Benchmark Scale Rates and Overseas Scale Rates, to consider whether the current rates and structures remain appropriate and effective. The Government will consider the findings of the review before determining any next steps.
