Proceeding contribution from Owen Paterson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport Innovation Fund.
Transport Innovation Fund
We suffer from appalling congestion because we distribute our road assets in a manner similar to the manufacture of iron bars in Novosibirsk under the Soviet Union, so I am sympathetic to the idea. But I should like some clarification to the reply to my right hon. Friend the Member for North-West Hampshire (Sir George Young). The Secretary of State has used phrases such as new money, so if road pricing is to be brought in, can he clarify whether that money will entirely replace vehicle excise duty and fuel duty, which will be abolished?
