answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan Guidance notes that local authorities should consider the needs of equestrians where they have access to walking and cycling infrastructure such as off-carriageway routes. However, the Government does not intend to specify that all measures to support active travel must include a horse-riding or horse drawn carriage element: decisions on this are a matter for local authorities. Nevertheless the Government does encourage local authorities to support equestrians in their active travel plans.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 15/07/2019 11:57:46 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
