Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

As a cyclist, I find new clause 21 attractive and congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Islington, South and Finsbury (Emily Thornberry) on tabling it. I urge the Government to ensure that by the time this Bill becomes an Act—preferably sooner, rather than later—it will enable byways to be clearly open to bicycles, but not to noxious trucks, cars, motor bikes and quad bikes.
