§ Mr. Ellisasked the Minister of Transport what representations she has received from the Rank Organisation to increase the minimum removal fee of £5 for vehicles breaking down; and if she will give an assurance that any new financial arrangements she agrees will not increase this charge.
§ Mr. SwinglerNone. The charge is fixed by Regulations made under Section 7 of the Severn Bridge Tolls Act, 1965 and not by the Rank Organisation.
Although it is proposed to review the charges in due time I cannot anticipate the outcome of this review.
