Written question asked by Lord Laird (Ulster Unionist Party), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Attlee (Conservative) on Tuesday, 15 February 2011.
Vehicles: Foreign-registered
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to levy a toll on owners of foreign-registered vehicles using roads in the United Kingdom.
- Answer
-
The Government plan to introduce a road user charging scheme for heavy goods vehicles, both foreign and UK registered. Under EU law, it is not possible to discriminate between vehicles registered in the UK and elsewhere in the EU. We hope to consult on detailed proposals later this year. Road charging for other types of vehicles has been ruled out for the duration of this Parliament.
