Tolls

Question

Secretary of State for Transport, whether he is taking steps to support motorists with road tolls.

Answer

Established government policy is that river and estuarial crossings will normally be funded by tolls, recognising the extra cost of their construction and maintenance, and also the substantial benefits for their users.

Other than such crossings and the M6 Toll motorway, the majority of the road network is free of tolls, and the Government has no plans to change this.
