Re: Jon Snow email on cycling vote in the Commons next week

Is this debate still happening? This is the response I got from my MP...

"Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding the Infrastructure Bill.
I have researched this matter, and I understand that the amendments from Lords Berkeley and Teverson were tabled, fully debated and subsequently withdrawn during debates in the House of Lords. However, I am pleased to see that action is being taken that will encourage more walking and cycling here in the constituency.
Nationally, the Department for Transport has recently published a draft Cycling Delivery Plan which sets out how the Government will make the UK a cycling nation and enable walking and cycling to become the natural choices for shorter journeys or as part of a longer journey, for all. The Government has consulted on the Cycling Delivery Plan and Ministers will respond to the consultation shortly as to how this will be taken forward."
