Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Owen Paterson (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 17 April 2007 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Eddington Report
- Question
- Sir Rod Eddington said that unless national road pricing was in place by 2015 there would have to be a substantial increase in inter-urban road building. Are the Government going to have national road pricing up and running by 2015? If not, what are they going to do?
- Answer
-
As I have stated many times at the Dispatch Box, the position remains that we believe that the right way forward is first to have local pilots, developing local solutions to the congestion challenges in local communities. On the basis of the facts that emerge from those local congestion charging experiences, we will be able as a country to make a judgment on the merits of a national system of road pricing.
