I propose to take Questions Nos. 100 and 102 together.

My Department is considering the detailed arrangements that will be required to implement the cycle to work scheme provided for under Section 7 of the Finance (No.2) Act 2008, and is currently in discussions with the Government Supplies Agency on how the proposed scheme might be put into operation and the correct procurement procedures put in place. To date my Department has had a query from one bicycle supplier in relation to the implementation of the scheme.
