Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to improve reporting mechanisms for women cyclists who experience (a) abuse and (b) intimidation.

Everyone should have the right to travel in safety, and abuse or intimidation of any kind is entirely unacceptable.

In respect of women, including those who cycle, the Department for Transport is working with the Home Office on their plans for a cross-government strategy to reduce violence against women and girls. This is due to be published later this year.
