Norman Baker says "Cycling is good"...

[GrumpyGregry]

Norman Baker Under Secretary for Transport in a response to a question on cycling

“First, the coalition agreement explicitly refers to the promotion of cycling. As a coalition Government, we recognise that it is good for the economy, good for the environment and good for personal health to get more people cycling. That is the direction of travel we have been trying to pursue since the Government were formed”

Greg,

Link seems to be going to Westminster Hall debates on 29 Feb. None of the 3 subjects, Scottish Football TAx Liabilities, Daniel Morgan and alternative energy have any obvious relevance to cycling.

EDIT - Orginal link may go to an ever changing 'yesterday'. Intention was probably to go to this debate? http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201212/cmhansrd/cm120223/halltext/120223h0001.htm
