Dartford-Thurrock Crossing: Tolls
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of potential impact of increasing the Dart Charge on the number of daily crossings.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Initial assessments suggest fewer car journeys and more goods vehicle journeys will be made than would have been the case if charges had been left unchanged. Revenue from the charging scheme, net of costs, must be spent on transport projects.
