The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the The third cycling and walking investment strategy, published on 15 June 2026, if she will publish details of her discussions with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care prior to the publication of that strategy on the potential effectiveness of that funding.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Health outcomes are central to the third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS3), and the Department of Health and Social Care was fully engaged in the development of proposals.

As is standard for announcements of this type, CWIS3 was also agreed by relevant Secretaries of State via the write round process convened by the Cabinet Office.

The then Secretary of State for Health and Social Care approved the write round without amendment or conditions.
