Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to promote walking and cycling.

Walking, wheeling, and cycling are convenient, sustainable ways to travel—and this government is committed to making them safe and accessible for everyone.

To support this, we’re allocating £616 million in capital funding over the next four years to help local authorities deliver high-quality active travel infrastructure. Details on revenue funding will be announced in due course, alongside a consultation on the third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy.

Active travel will also play a central role in our Integrated National Transport Strategy, set to be published later this year.
