MPs have tabled 77 questions for debate. 

Another 23 questions have been tabled for written reply. 

NParks' purchase of the Brompton bicycles will be brought up again. MPs will ask about the specifics of the tender and procurement process for these bicycles, an update on the investigation as well as the budget set for the purchase of such items. 

Another matter up for debate - the safety of cyclists and how to integrate cycling into the traffic system here.
