HC Deb 24 January 1994 vol 236 c79W
24. Mr. Duncan Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish comparative figures for the level of motorway charges in other European countries compared with the levels mentioned in his Green Paper "Paying for Better Motorways".

Mr. Key

Average tolls for cars on motorways in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal are between about 5p and 10p per mile. In Greece, they are up to 4p per mile. The levels of electronic tolls for cars discussed in the Green Paper were between 0.5p and 1.5p per mile.

Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish a full list of all organisations to which his Department sent, and from which it has received responses, regarding the Green Paper "Paying for Better Motorways", together with the addresses of each such organisation.

Mr. Key

[holding answer 18 January 1994]: My Department issued copies of the Green Paper to all the motoring organisations, organisations representing industry and local government, and to others who contacted the Department following reports in the media. We received a total of 204 responses from organisations. It is not our practice to identify those who respond to consultation exercises.
