Severn Bridges

Proceeding contribution from Jessica Morden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 January 2017. It occurred during Debate on Severn Bridges.

Tolling at £3, in part, to pay back the £63 million cost to the Government of the latent defects on some of the bridges, when the Government have in fact recouped more than double that in an unexpected tax windfall, seems especially unfair—particularly when the Government stepped in and wiped £150 million off the Humber debt. Does the Minister appreciate how strongly people feel about that?
