A happy new year to you, Mr. Speaker.

Is the Minister aware that red routes are being introduced in Islington and in part of Haringey despite the total opposition of people in the area and their local authorities, that when I cycled along the red route this morning it was in its normal traffic-jammed state, with the usual levels of pollution, and that when the red routes were introduced last week the police tried to remove a post van which was emptying a mail box and threatened to remove a disabled person's car? Are not the red routes really a system of bringing more traffic, more danger and more pollution in central London, when what we need is a restriction on private cars going in and out of central London?
