Mr. Hinchliffe: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the information in the latest issue of
the national travel survey in respect of walking. [4477]
Mr. Bowis: The 1993-95 report on the national travel survey contained a number of tables showing the contribution of walking to
figures for personal travel. The main section shows that the average number of journeys walked per person and the average distance
walked have fallen over recent years and we have therefore set up a steering group to look at the causes of this and at ways that
have been shown to be effective in encouraging walking. I have chaired the first two meetings of this group.

Mr. Hinchliffe: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport for what reasons the national travel survey excludes consideration of
distances covered on foot during employment. [4478]
Mr. Bowis: The primary purpose of the national travel survey is to estimate the demand for personal travel. This comprises travel
for private purposes or for work or education, provided that the main reason for the journey is for the traveller himself or herself
to reach the destination.

Mr. Hinchliffe: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the progress of the national walking
strategy. [4476]
Mr. Bowis: I have formed and chaired the first two meetings of a steering group whose leadership comes from a range of interested
parties. The group is drafting a discussion document which will invite comments from a wider constituency to help establish what
measures may be commended as good practice to encourage walking as a mode of transport, as a component in journeys with public
transport and as an alternative to the car for short journeys.
