Written Question
Dartford-Thurrock Crossing: Tolls
Friday 11th July 2025

Asked by: Jen Craft (Labour - Thurrock)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Written Ministerial Statement of 17 June 2025 on Dart Charge, HCWS708, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes to the fare to cross Dartford Tunnel on levels of demand on that crossing.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Our assessment is that the change in charges will mean there are fewer car journeys at the Crossing than would have been the case otherwise, and that this will enable more goods vehicle journeys to be made.
