On this particular target, the report noted that although there had been a significant increase of around 45% in the number of stages cycled between 2013 and 2020, further increases were required. The Department will provide an updated assessment in its next report to Parliament in due course.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/06/2023 10:05:26 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
