HC Deb 03 March 1966 vol 725 c356W
Mr. Marten

asked the Minister of Transport what steps she proposes to take to abolish ancient tolls on bridges.

Mrs. Castle

I am providing new routes for the through traffic that is now obliged to use the three ancient toll bridges on trunk roads, subject to the normal priorities of my roads programme. Merely buying out toll rights is unjustifiably expensive.
