Quote

Haigh admits she has never cycled in London, but would like to try out the city’s growing network of cycle lanes – although government ministers are given a car with a driver, partly for security reasons

Intrigued by the comment

Quote

Louise Haigh said it was an ‘anomaly’ that the National Cycle Network was run by a charity while the government runs roads and rail.
