Proceeding contribution from Andrew Turner (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport Innovation Fund.
Transport Innovation Fund
May I say gently to the Secretary of State that we do not all live on one island, overcrowded or otherwise? People who travel to and from my constituency are among the few who already pay charges, which vary, depending on congestion and distance, and considerably exceed £1.34 a mile. My constituents pay road fund licence fees and petrol duty in addition. The Secretary of State has a rural bus grant and the Chancellor has announced half-price bus fares for pensioners, so will the Secretary of State tell us whether the transport innovation fund can be used to extend those benefits to passenger ferry users?
