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.
But we cannot expect to enjoy these benefits with half-measures.
