Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Local Transport Bill [HL].

Local Transport Bill [HL]

I understand what the noble Lord is saying. He is right: we think that the EU Commission has an important role to play. After all, it has set out a framework for pan-European interoperability, the underlying principle being that a subscriber to the European electronic tolling service should be able to use any electronic billing scheme in Europe using a single onboard unit and account, subject to certain exemptions in the directive. That is the approach we all want to see adopted, and which makes the most sense.
