Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent steps his Department has taken to help ensure cycling in UK cities becomes safer and more child friendly.

Around £2bn of funding is being invested in cycling and walking projects between 2016/17 and 2020/21, which will help make cycling safer for everyone. This includes £50m for Bikeability training for school children, which has allowed around four hundred thousand children to be trained during the 2018/19 academic year.
