HC Deb 11 July 2000 vol 353 c498W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many(a) tunnels and (b) bridges in the UK are subject to tolls. [130100]

Mr. Hill

In the United Kingdom the following undertakings are part of a public highway and have their tolls set by statute:

  • The Aldwark Bridge, Yorkshire
  • The Cleddau Bridge, Wales
  • The Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol
  • The Dartford Thurrock Crossings—Bridge and Tunnels
  • The Dunham Bridge, Lincolnshire
  • The Erskine Bridge, Scotland
  • The Forth Bridge, Scotland
  • The Mersey Tunnel
  • The Humber Bridge
  • The Itchen Bridge, Southampton
  • The Rixton and Warburton Bridge, on the Manchester Ship Canal
  • The Severn Bridges
  • The Shrewsbury (Kingsland) Bridge
  • The Skye Bridge, Scotland
  • The Swinford Bridge (Oxfordshire)
  • The Tamar Bridge
  • The Tay Bridge, Scotland
  • The Tyne Tunnel
  • The Whitchurch Bridge (Oxfordshire)
  • The Whitney on Wye Bridge (Hereford and Worcester).

There are also a number of toll bridges that provide access across private land. Because they do not have their tolls set by a statutory procedure I do not have a complete list.
