Ms Anne Graham:

I do not wish to give the impression that anything that is in the cycle manual is unsafe. They are safe cycling facilities. It is more about improving safety than making unsafe provision safe.

On the issue of the modelling of emissions, the only work on the modelling of emissions that is complete is work that was done on the transport strategy back in 2016. That showed that with the expenditure at that stage, at the introduction of all the infrastructure and without changing any of the fleet, particularly the bus fleet or car fleet, there would be a reduction in emissions of approximately 3%. The work that is currently ongoing is updating the transport strategy. Obviously, we have to take into account whatever decisions the Government makes regarding targets for carbon emissions. That will certainly be something that has to be considered as a key part of the transport strategy. There is work ongoing at the moment to do further modelling to ascertain the impact of changes to the transport fleet and car fleet.

The work is under way and we do not have any results to share with the committee today. I do not know whether Mr. Creegan wants to add anything on that.
