HC Deb 13 June 2003 vol 406 cc169-70W
Mr. Ben Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the financial information on tunnel operations provided in the consultation on Mersey Tunnel toll rises. [116212]

Mr. Jamieson

The financial information provided by the Merseyside Passenger Transport Authority in relation to its application to revise the toll charges at the Mersey Tunnels is still being considered; it is, therefore, too early to make an assessment on the adequacy of the information.

It is likely that the toll revision application will be considered at a public inquiry which will consider all information put before them.
