Jessica Morden – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jessica Morden on 2016-03-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government plans to halve the level of the Severn Bridge tolls inclusive or exclusive of VAT following the return of the Severn Bridge to public ownership.

Andrew Jones

After the end of the concession, the tolls will be 50% lower than the toll level when the concession comes to an end. This isn’t on top of the removal of VAT.
