Severn Bridges (Tolls)

Proceeding contribution from Jessica Morden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 July 2015. It occurred during Debate on Severn Bridges (Tolls).

My hon. Friend is quite right. People in many communities in my constituency, particularly those with low and medium incomes, find it difficult to absorb that cost. Access to jobs in Bristol for which people might like to apply is limited by their having to pay what amounts to an extra tax.

The Welsh Government’s report is clear, and, having spoken to small and larger businesses locally, so am I: the tolls have a big impact.
