Mr. Gordon Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will set up an inquiry to review the financial arrangements placed upon the joint Forth road bridge board and the uses of the bridge in line with the recommendations of the public local inquiry into Forth road bridge tolls of 1981–82.

Mr. Ancram

No.

Mr. Gordon Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will estimate the change in the level of use of the Forth road bridge once tolls are raised from 30p to 40p.

Mr. Ancram

This is not expected to be significant.
