Lord Fowler Excerpts

Wednesday 2nd September 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Penn (Con)]

As we can see from a slightly busier House today than before Recess, some noble Lords have returned to a bit of a commute. I do not think there has to be a contribution to climate change from commuting. That is why we have invested £2 billion in walking and cycling, which can contribute to people’s well-being. One of the things that we have seen during the pandemic is more flexible working structures that may allow people to get away from just peak travel. That can reduce congestion and reduce the impact on climate change.

[The Lord Speaker (Lord Fowler)]

My Lords, the time allowed for this Question has elapsed. I congratulate those who took part.
