Lord Bradshaw

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress has been made in ensuring foreign-registered vehicles contribute to the costs of maintaining highway services in the United Kingdom. [HL5818]

The Minister of State, Department for Transport
(Lord Adonis)

There are currently no plans to introduce a widespread tolling or user charging arrangement for foreign vehicles. All vehicles, including foreign vehicles, are required to pay the tolls and charges that apply for the use of various bridges and tunnels, and for the M6 Toll.
