Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his Department's funding plans are for walking and cycling schemes in the next three years.

The second statutory Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, published in July of this year, reiterated the Government’s commitment to this important agenda and set out the funding that was projected to be spent on it from 2020/21 to 2024/25 from a wide range of funding streams.

The Autumn Statement of 17 November confirmed the Department for Transport’s overall funding levels for 2023-24 and 2024-25. The Department is currently considering the budget for active travel as part of its examination of all future spending plans following that Statement.
