I turn to Amendment 99, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Pidgeon. We want more shared cycle schemes across the country, as the noble Baroness does, and we know that the success of schemes will require parking in the right places. This will require constructive and continuing collaboration between strategic authorities, which will issue licences, and traffic authorities, which remain best placed to manage street space. We cannot legislate from Whitehall on the specifics of parking, as local leaders know their areas best and each area has unique needs.
