	house id	2

	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government why they have reduced the tolls on the Severn Bridge without making a similar beneficial economic signal to the competing rail line and services.
	tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
	type	WrittenParliamentaryQuestion
	uin	HL4815
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2017 answer text <p>The Government has a longstanding policy that drivers using major river crossings should pay for their provision and upkeep. The proposed reduction in the toll on the Severn Crossings simply reflects that once the consortium that constructed the Second Severn Crossing have recouped their investment under the Concession, the subsequent return to public ownership will enable the Government to reduce the charges, and users will therefore benefit from lower prices. The Government is currently investing a record £40 billion in railways, which needs funding through a combination of taxpayer and farepayers contributions.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 26/01/2017 12:01:19 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2017 answer text <p>The consultation that the Government launched on 13<sup>th</sup> January 2017 sets out that the revenue to be recouped under the current concession will be received by late 2017 or early 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Once the Crossings are back in public ownership, there are costs that will need to be recouped from the proposed lower charges.
