Mr Cameron praised the way Boris Johnson had promoted cycling in London but suggested it was up to town halls rather than central government to make the roads safer. “I hope local authorities can follow his lead and do more,” he said.

Labour said the Prime Minister himself should do more to bring about change and save lives. Maria Eagle, the Shadow Transport Secretary, said: “Cyclists want to see these warm words of support translate into action. There is now a credible and coherent package of proposals to be taken forward, thanks to the excellent manifesto set out by The Times and the recommendations from the All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group.”

Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, pledged his support. “We need to make cycling safe and accessible in all parts of Britain, so that more and more people can enjoy it.”
