I refer the hon. Member to my written statement to the House on 19 October 2006, Official Report, columns 59-60WS, and the consultation document on “Proposed changes to charges at the Dartford-Thurrock River Crossing” that we published, which is in the Libraries of the House and on the Department’s website.
