There is great variation between different UK towns and cities in the facilities provided for cycling, and as a result great variation between cycling’s shares of overall transport usage.
In my constituency, I speak to students in schools and listen to representatives of schools councils, and there is tremendous interest in safe parking and storage facilities for cycles.
I recently received a complaint from a constituent who told me that there was not a single cycle rack within a half-mile radius of his office, and that the council had told him that there was nowhere suitable in the area for a bike rack.

My compliment to the staff at RAF Stafford is to say that their operation is carried out as efficiently as that at Argos, with the difference that RAF Stafford's operation is much, much bigger.

Sir Richard Stafford Cripps, the wealthy British lawyer-turned-politician: ascetic and intense, possessed of a wintry cordiality, incorruptible, committed to socialism and ‘planned’ international exchange.
Although neither man took day-to-day control of the negotiations, both were responsible for establishing the broad lines of policy pursued by their respective countries, and made crucial interventions.
As the decade drew on, in spite of his popularity with the constituency Labour parties, Cripps came increasingly into collision with, and was ultimately defeated by, Labour’s established hierarchy.

He was duly elected but, rather than attending the opening of Parliament, he embarked on a speaking tour throughout the United Kingdom and the United States, by means of which he raised ten thousand pounds for himself.
(Members of Parliament were unpaid in those days and Churchill was not rich by the standards of the time.) While in the United States, one of his speeches was introduced by Mark Twain, and he dined with the New York Governor and Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt.
In February 1901 Churchill arrived back in the United Kingdom to enter Parliament, and became associated with a group of Tory dissidents led by Lord Hugh Cecil and referred to as the Hughligans, a play on "Hooligans".
