HC Deb 12 January 1995 vol 252 c196W
Mr. Mike O'Brien

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if the projected western orbital route around the west midlands will be a tolled road.

Mr. Watts

The trunk roads review, published in March 1994, indicated that the western orbital route would be considered for its suitability to be taken forward under a design, build, finance and operate contract which does not require the payment of tolls by road users.
