Road Pricing

: I am extremely grateful to the Minister for giving way yet again. He is grappling with incisive questions from the rising stars of the official Opposition. Let us deal with the matter of essential car users. He makes a good point about how one might deal with employment issues, but there are those, such as the chronically sick, the frail and elderly and disabled people, for whom public transport is not a practical option. Would remission of charges be a possibility in those cases? Some people could be excluded from charges because they were essential car users and that was the only way in which they could access things that were necessary for their quality of life or well being.
