HC Deb 28 January 1975 vol 885 c147W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now raise the amounts for grant and loan for crofters' housing.

Mr. William Ross

I am keeping this matter under review in the light of the movement of building costs since January of last year when there was a substantial increase in the level of assistance.

Class of vehicle Erskine Forth Tay
Cars, small goods vehicles 15p 15p 12½p
Scheduled buses 25p 25p 25p
Heavy vehicles 50p 50p 50p
Escorted vehicles £5.00 £5.00 As appropriate
Motor cycles, scooters 5p
Motor cycles, scooters, with sidecars 15p 12½p

No concessionary rate is offered to regular users of any of the bridges other than to road transport operators who enter into agreement with the Secretary of State in respect of the Erskine Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge Joint Board guaranteeing a minimum number of crossings per month. Under such an agreement the toll is reduced from 50p to 30p per crossing.
