Lord Livermore (Lab)
As I say, there is a great deal of expertise across the House on this matter, and the noble Baroness is no exception. She knows a great deal about the topic. I think I have said what I was going to say on this matter: we have no plans to introduce road pricing.
Earl Attlee (Con)
My Lords, why is it sensible to tax a motorist who drives 5 miles in the middle of Lincolnshire at 6 am exactly the same as a motorist who drives 5 miles on the M25 at 8.30 am?
Lord Livermore (Lab)
It may or may not be sensible but, as I say, we have no plans to introduce road pricing.
