HC Deb 10 March 1969 vol 779 c207W
54. Mr. Gardner

asked the Minister of Transport what progress his Department has made in its study of the possibility of charging for the use of heavily congested roads by motor vehicles.

Mr. Marsh

Prototype equpiment is being developed and the first will be available for exhaustive tests shortly. It will take a considerable time to work out how far a road pricing system is technically feasible and to assess the economic, social and administrative implications.
