Green MSP John Finnie says that "thanks to spending on active travel in Denmark and the Netherlands, these countries have some of the fittest and happiest people."

Mr Finnie says: "We all agree that investing in walking and cycling brings great benefits, to public health, people's pockets, local economies and the environment.
