HC Deb 13 July 1999 vol 335 c127W
20. Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what estimate he has made of the impact on traffic levels which the Government's planned new charges on motorists will have. [89496]

Mrs. Liddell

A number of studies have indicated that traffic levels could be substantially reduced if local authorities decided to implement packages of measures including road user charges and complementary public transport improvements.
