Asked by Lord Greaves
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have plans to strengthen the cycle safety provisions of the Highway Code in accordance with proposals by British Cycling and the Cyclists' Touring Club or in any other way.[HL5477]
The Minister of State, Department for Transport (Baroness Kramer) (LD): The Highway Code was last revised in September 2007, and there are currently no plans to carry out another revision, which is a time consuming and expensive exercise. Nevertheless, when the next revision to the Highway Code is carried out the rules on cycling and cycle safety will be reviewed, as with other sections of the document. Any changes will be subject to public consultation.
