Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether legislation is required to allow Peel Ports to increase the toll on the Warburton Toll Bridge.

Answer

The Rixton and Warburton Company is in the process of putting together a Transport and Works Act order to update the current legislation to facilitate the numerous changes the company is looking to make.

The Secretary of State is not currently in receipt of an application to increase the toll and we would not expect one until the legislative matters have been resolved.
