Proceeding contribution from Owen Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Severn Crossings Toll.


Severn Crossings Toll

I want to clarify what the Minister has just said, because it was very interesting. Is he suggesting that some negotiations have taken place already between the Department for Transport and the company and that, subject to the technology being made failsafe at Dartford, an agreement might be struck whereby the Government would be prepared to compensate the company for introducing free-flow technology on the bridge before 2017? Is that what he was implying?
