HC Deb 17 March 1939 vol 345 cc793-4W
Major Owen

asked the Minister of Transport, whether he will state the number of toll-bridges and roads in Wales; their geographical situation; and the amount of the tolls charged in each case?

Mr. Burgin

I am making inquiries and will communicate with the hon. and gallant Member as soon as possible.

Major Owen

asked the Minister of Transport, whether any of the road and bridges tolls in Wales are scheduled to be abolished; and how soon?

Mr. Burgin

No proposals for the abolition of existing toll roads and toll bridges in Wales have been submitted to me by the authorities concerned. I understand that the Cardiff Corporation are considering the acquisition of the Cardiff-Penarth Toll Road but have not yet come to a definite decision.
