Proceeding contribution from Lord Murphy of Torfaen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Severn Crossings Toll.
Severn Crossings Toll
The hon. Gentleman has said that the Labour Government did not act on these issues. He might not remember this—it was a long time ago—but 20 years ago I served in the Committee that considered the Severn Bridges Act 1992. The Welsh Affairs Committee report says that the deal that was struck in 1991 was a poor one. One of the reasons why was that it could not easily be changed. That, as much as anything else, is the real reason why we are in the situation in which we are in today.
