HC Deb 05 February 1964 vol 688 c161W
76. Mr. W. T. Rodgers

asked the Minister of Transport what further studies and experiments are being undertaken on alternative systems of road pricing and their effects on different classes of users, in the light of the views of the Crowther Steering Group to the Buchanan Committee that heavy taxation would limit driving in cities to the rich or the privileged.

Mr. Marples

Restraint of traffic by charging moving vehicles for the use of congested road space has far-reaching economic, social and administrative implications. I am at present considering what studies of these may be desirable.
