Outer London Congestion Charge

Proceeding contribution from Gareth Bacon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 March 2021. It occurred during Debate on Outer London Congestion Charge.

Will the hon. Gentleman concede that people do not just use one mode of transport? Car drivers also walk, cycle and use public transport, so they pay into the public transport system. The idea that car drivers are being subsidised by public transport users is further undermined by more than a £1 billion of subsidy that Transport for London puts into the bus system and the other concessionary fares. Would he concede that that statement, which is often used and comes directly from City Hall, is misleading and wrong?
