HC Deb 12 March 2002 vol 381 c917W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions whether it is his policy to charge for inter-urban road travel. [41662]

Mr. Jamieson

The Government have no plans at present to introduce general charges for road users to travel on the inter-urban road network, although we are looking seriously at plans to ensure that foreign hauliers pay their fair share of costs on our roads.
