ROAD PRICING

Early day motion 892, tabled 19 February 2007 by Mike Penning (Conservative). Signed by 29 members.

That this House recognises the need to take urgent action on reducing carbon emissions but believes the Government's plans to introduce road pricing using tracking technology is both unfair and intrusive and will undermine individual civil liberties; and believes that the road pricing model proposed will have a disproportionate impact on the poor and those drivers on fixed incomes and will be a tax on workers and those who have no alternative form of transport, in particular rural communities.

Signatures by party: Conservative 23, Labour 3, DUP 1, Independent 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
