He was responding to suggestions a reduction in the number of parents leaving children to school would reduce traffic congestion.

"If you take the 30% out, it frees up the roads for everyone. Everyone knows in the summer, actually, our transport system works; in the winter, it doesn't. So it actually makes such sense in terms of... And it's also good for kids: more active, more independence. There are so many benefits".
