Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 January 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sustainable Transport.


Sustainable Transport

I sincerely hope that in due course the coalition Government will be able to reinstate some of the tram and light railway schemes that were axed by the previous utopian Labour Government, and perhaps add a few new ones. They are quite commonplace on the continent. I welcome the Minister's statement, particularly the coalition Government's commitment to support Bikeability cycle training for the duration of this Parliament. With that in mind, would he like to come to cycle town Colchester to see how cycling is being promoted?
