Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the written statement of 9 March 2023 entitled Transport Update, HCWS625, whether the funding available for the second statutory cycling and walking investment strategy has been varied.

The second Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS2), published in July 2022, included an estimate of the total financial resources across government that would be invested in active travel over the 4-year period between April 2021 and March 2025. This estimate will be updated in the next Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy and associated report to Parliament to take account of developments across various funding streams, including the change to the dedicated capital funding budgets for active travel for 2023/24 and 2024/25 announced on 9 March 2023.
