SEVERN BRIDGES TOLL

Early day motion 139, tabled 7 November 2007 by Jennifer Willott (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 46 members.

That this House believes that the payment system on the two Severn bridges is out of date as it requires drivers to pay in cash only at toll booths on both bridges; notes that the London congestion charge can be paid by cash, by credit card, by telephone and on the internet; and urges the Government to amend Regulation 5 of the Severn Bridges Act 1992 to allow the introduction of facilities to pay by card and online.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 29, Labour 11, Conservative 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Independent 1.
