§ Mrs. Chalkerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to allow disabled passengers toll-free passage over bridges and through tunnels, as is arranged for disabled drivers.
§ Mr. MarksThe only tolled crossing for which my right hon. Friend has direct responsibility is the Severn Bridge where, since 24th May 1974, charges have been waived for all vehicles driven by or carrying, the disabled. The initiative for exemptions at other tolled crossings lies with the authorities responsible for them.
