Dartford River Crossing Tolls

My hon. Friend makes some relevant points on which I shall expand in my comments. His point about profit is quite relevant because the annual profit since the point at which the costs of the bridge had been paid off has been between £47 million and £52 million. Up until last month, Kent county council received £1 million in extra spending permissions for local transport infrastructure, and Thurrock borough council received £750,000. That has now come to an end.
