Dartford-Thurrock Crossing: Tolls

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the level of annual Dart Charge (a) road user charge and (b) enforcement write-offs in respect of the Dartford-Thurrock river crossing since the introduction of the Dart Charge in November 2014.

Answer

The table below sets out the annual position as published within the Dartford-Thurrock River Crossing annual accounts, as well as the cumulative total.
