answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2018 answer text <p>Prior to the Severn Crossings consultation in 2017 the Government undertook modelling to assess the impact of the policy to continue tolling at a reduced rate, and on the possible option of free-flow tolling. The modelling used a version of the M4-CAN traffic model extended to take account of the impact of changes in tolls on both the South West of England and Wales and included estimates of wider economic impacts consistent with DfT Transport Appraisal Guidance.</p><p> </p><p>The Government announced on 21 July 2017 that it was removing tolls by the end of 2018. No further modelling was undertaken by the Department for Transport on this specific option.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 14/02/2018 11:43:29 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

Based on analysis of past traffic flow, the revenue to be received from a charging before abolition at the end of 2018 is predicted to be sufficient to cover such costs.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 14/02/2018 12:01:00 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
