question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what has been the annual revenue paid in toll fees by users of the Severn Bridge in each of the last five years; and what proportion of such sums were directed to (1) the contractor operating the bridge, and (2) HM Treasury.
tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
uin	HL1269
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2014 answer text <p>Severn River Crossing plc (SRC) provides details of the toll revenue received for both of the Severn Crossings　but does not separately account for the toll revenue received at the M48 Severn Bridge or M4 Second Severn Crossing.</p><p> </p><p>As background the combined toll revenue given in the SRC annual accounts is as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td>Calender Year</td><td>Toll revenue (net of VAT) £m</td><td>VAT paid to HMRC by SRC £m</td></tr><tr><td>2009</td><td>77.4</td><td>10.9</td></tr><tr><td>2010</td><td>76.0</td><td>12.5</td></tr><tr><td>2011</td><td>77.6</td><td>14.3</td></tr><tr><td>2012</td><td>81.2</td><td>14.9</td></tr><tr><td>2013</td><td>85.4</td><td>15.8</td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The approximate split of traffic flow on the crossings is 75% on the M4 and 25% on the M48. However, differences in the mix of traffic type between the two crossings means that this can only provide an indication on the relative split of toll revenue.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 24/07/2014 11:25:42 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the cost of maintenance work currently outstanding on the Severn Bridge; and who will bear any outstanding costs at the date when the current operating contract comes to an end.
tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
uin	HL1270
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2014 answer text <p>The Government has not estimated the cost of any outstanding maintenance work on the Severn Bridge as, under the concession agreement , Severn River Crossing plc (SRC) are responsible for maintaining the crossings for the remainder of the concession. SRC must ensure that the crossings are handed back to the Secretary of State for Transport at end of the concession in satisfactory and serviceable condition.</p><p> </p><p>At the present time no decisions have been taken on the management arrangements of the Severn crossings after the end of the current concession and so I cannot confirm who will bear the costs of any maintenance needs after the concession. The Government has been clear that any future arrangements will need to make proper provision for repayment of Government costs, future maintenance needs and reflect the needs of road users in both England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 24/07/2014 12:34:28 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
