Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport Innovation Fund.


Transport Innovation Fund

The Secretary of State may be relieved to hear that at least one of his predecessors is not unsympathetic to the concept of road pricing, but subject to a crucial condition that my hon. Friend the Member for Rutland and Melton (Mr. Duncan) mentioned—though the right hon. Gentleman did not reply to him. Is this proposition to be revenue-neutral on the motorist and, if so, will the right hon. Gentleman confirm that those who travel in rural areas on lightly used roads may find that their motoring costs go down?
