HC Deb 24 February 1988 vol 128 c227W
15. Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the cost of collecting tolls on the Forth road bridge.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The collection of tolls on the bridge is the responsibility of the Forth road bridge joint board. However, I understand that collection costs for the year 1986–87 amounted to £571,000.
