Is not my hon. Friend fully justified in using the phrase ““stealth taxes”” in relation to congestion charging, because in the Bill the word ““congestion”” does not appear? The reference is to road charging schemes. Such a scheme would not necessarily have to have reducing congestion as its main aim. It could be used for raising taxes.
