Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 19 January 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sustainable Local Transport.

Sustainable Local Transport

My Lords, I have the same problem; I live on a hill. I am not sure that I would like to ride a bicycle up it, but I will try in the summer. The noble Lord will know that bus routes and bus provision are matters for the local transport authority. He talked about the need for innovative solutions. I agree with him, but it is for local transport authorities to develop these solutions. Our role is to encourage them, not to tell them exactly what to do by means of a long screwdriver.
