Written question asked by Paula Barker (Labour) on Wednesday, 21 June 2023, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 26 June 2023. It was answered by Richard Holden (Conservative) on Tuesday, 27 June 2023 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
M6 Toll
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will have discussions with Midland Expressway Ltd on seeking a review of its policy of charging recipients of higher rate Attendance Allowance for use of the M6 toll.
- Answer
-
The Department for Transport has no contractual rights to intervene with Midland Expressway Ltd regarding toll rates under the terms of the concession agreement entered into between DfT and MEL dated 28th February 1992. Midland Expressway Ltd is a private entity; it would be inappropriate for the Secretary of State for Transport to seek to intervene on any aspect of tolling policy.
The Department would be pleased to offer a meeting to discuss this further.
