To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans has he to discuss with bus operators a device to allow buses to carry bicycles by means of an external rack either in front or behind the vehicle.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans has he to discuss with bus operators a device to allow buses to carry bicycles by means of an external rack either in front or behind the vehicle.
It is for individual bus operators to take decisions on whether to fit racks for bicycles on their services. While I currently have no plans to discuss this, I would encourage bus operators to consider fitting such equipment where it is safe and legal to do so.

I beg to move,
That leave be given to bring in a Bill to give powers to local authorities to regulate dockless bicycle-sharing schemes; and for connected purposes.

I have recently been on an e-bike, and it was very good on hills. E-bikes are of great assistance to people with health and mobility issues. We want to encourage their use, and we are doing just that. We are also investing vast sums in cycle lanes and road infrastructure improvements, and we are focusing on safety. There is more to be done, as always, but we have done an awful lot more than Labour did in this area.

E-bikes will offer enormous benefits for transport, health, wellbeing, the environment and green business growth, especially if Government funding is made available to support them. What steps is the Minister taking to incentivise the use of e-bikes?
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to introduce legislation to give local authorities greater powers to control the establishment of bicycle hire schemes and to set standards on how such schemes should be run.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to introduce legislation to give local authorities greater powers to control the establishment of bicycle hire schemes and to set standards on how such schemes should be run.
Local authorities already have powers to deal with hire bicycles if they are causing an obstruction or nuisance, and are also able to introduce local byelaws as appropriate. The Government will continue to monitor the impacts of bike hire schemes and to work with local authorities and scheme operators as appropriate on ways of addressing any problems that arise.
Whether it is electric scooters or dockless bike schemes, technology moves so much more quickly that the Department for Transport. After years and years, will the Secretary of State finally do something about dockless bike schemes, and help our local authorities respond to the changes?

This Department leads the way internationally on transport issues and is a world leader in considering our carbon emissions, cycling, walking and active travel. The Department is a world leader in these fields.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to increase the (a) level of storage and (b) access to storage for bikes on trains at all stops on the route between Birmingham and Bristol.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to increase the (a) level of storage and (b) access to storage for bikes on trains at all stops on the route between Birmingham and Bristol.
The Department encourages the train operators and Network Rail to continue to increase provision for bike storage at stations where there is demand to do so. Provision for carriage for bikes on trains is a matter for the train operators to balance against the other demands on space - for example for passenger seating, luggage and universally accessible facilities.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if his Department will provide guidance on the rights of cyclists to walk a bicycle along a public footpath.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if his Department will provide guidance on the rights of cyclists to walk a bicycle along a public footpath.
There are no current plans to provide guidance of this nature. Management of rights of way, including footpaths, rests with the relevant local authority. The expectation is for local authorities, whenever possible, to look at the needs of all users including cyclists.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans the Government has to support commuters who use polluting cars to travel to work to switch to (a) bikes and (b) e-bikes following the introduction of the ULEZ zone in London.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans the Government has to support commuters who use polluting cars to travel to work to switch to (a) bikes and (b) e-bikes following the introduction of the ULEZ zone in London.
In London, transport is devolved to the Mayor of London and delivered by Transport for London (TfL). The ULEZ is one of The Mayor of London’s proposals to improve London’s air quality, and it is for him to manage any incentives relating to the scheme.
The Government is committed to increasing cycling and walking, and has a wide range of policies in place to support this. These were originally set out in detail in the statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in 2017.
Dockless bike hire schemes could have been transformative, but too many of those schemes have crashed and burned, leaving
a trail of destruction behind them. Despite repeated calls from across this House, the Government have not regulated. Will they soon act?

I thank the hon. Gentleman for that question. Of course dockless bikes are a source of interesting innovation, and it has been important to see how that innovation is playing out. They can be regulated under a variety of local government powers. As we see further developments, we will continue to look at this. They will also potentially be subject to the discussion in respect of the micro-mobility review we are doing at the moment, through the future mobility strategy.

Local authorities already have powers to deal with hire bikes if they are causing an obstruction or nuisance. The Department for Transport has been working with local authorities and bike hire operators across the country on the potential issues raised by the development of bike hire schemes.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of the collapse of dockless bikeshare schemes on mobility.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of the collapse of dockless bikeshare schemes on mobility.
The Department for Transport has not undertaken any assessment of this matter. It is for local authorities rather than central Government to develop and monitor local transport provision, including bikeshare schemes, in their areas.

The increase in the Small Claims Track limit to £5,000 for road traffic accident-related personal injury claims will apply to the occupants of a motor vehicle. The increase will apply to all such claimants, whether they are driving, or a passenger in, a motor vehicle, and whether or not they were injured in the course of their employment.
Pedestrians, motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders will not be covered by the increase.
The Government’s reforms do not impact on access to justice and all claimants affected by this increase will be supported by a new easy to use IT Portal which will help enable the effective resolution of their claim pre-court and without the need for legal representation. Claimants will still be able to bring their claim in the low cost small claims court process, which is designed to be both accessible and uncomplicated, should they need to progress their claim through the courts.
