answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2023 answer text <p>The Government’s most recent assessment of progress against these and other targets was set out in the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy report to Parliament in July 2022, a copy of which is available in the House Libraries. One of the targets in the 2020 Cycling and Walking Plan for England was for 50% of all journeys in towns and cities to be walked or cycled by 2030. On this, the 2022 report notes that the percentage is currently forecast to be between 41-47% by 2030, but that it could be higher depending on various uncertainties. The percentage rose to 48% in 2020, but this may have been an anomaly as part of the impact of the pandemic.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/06/2023 11:28:05 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

The power for setting local speed limits was devolved to the Welsh Government as part of the Wales Act 2017. In terms of the 20mph speed limits, it is disappointing that the Welsh Government seems to be ignoring its own impact assessments, which suggest that the damage to the Welsh economy could be as much as £4.5 billion.</p><p> </p><p>Local Authorities in England have the power to set 20mph speed zones where appropriate and the UK Government has no plans to introduce default or national 20 mph speed limits in urban environments.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Monmouth answering member printed David T C Davies question first answered 29/06/2023 10:15:18 answering member 1545 label Biography information for David T C Davies
