GREEN LANES

That this House notes the work of the Green Lanes Environmental Action Movement, and the safety and environmental implications of the use of vulnerable green lanes used by motorised vehicles for recreational purposes; further notes the Countryside Commission's flawed proposals to classify all roads-used-as-public-paths as byways on which motorised traffic would be permitted; and calls on the Government to re-examine the law in relation to the use of green lanes as part of its work on access to the countryside, recognising that there are designated and appropriate areas for the use of recreational off-road motor vehicles.
