Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the number of cyclists who cycle on roads in the dark without lights on their bicycles.

No assessment has been made of the number of cyclists who cycle on roads in the dark without lights on their bicycles. Rule 60 of The Highway Code states that cycles must be fitted with a red rear reflector and have white front and red rear lights lit at night. Cycling without proper lights at night is an offence, and enforcement of this is entirely a matter for the police.
