Senior Cabinet ministers, including the Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, William Hague and Theresa May have been allowed to use the Olympic lanes “on the advice of the security services”, according to the London Evening Standard.
Cyclists should be able to use dedicated Olympic traffic lanes, a cross-party group of MPs demanded today.
Cyclists are among road users banned from London's so-called Zil lanes, available only to Olympics officials, athletes and other approved vehicles.
But MPs from across the political divide called on Transport for London (TfL) to allow cyclists to use the lanes without the threat of a £130 fine.
They tabled a Commons early day motion (EDM) claiming the exclusion would lead to traffic jams and deter Londoners from cycling to work.
