Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the Greater London Authority about the potential impact on business of proposals to extend the congestion charging zone; and what has been the outcome of any such discussions.

The Government agreed a further extraordinary funding and financing package for TfL in October 2020 of up to £1.7 billion to ensure the continuation of public transport services in London.

Transport in London is devolved and decisions around the congestion charge are a matter for the Mayor. The Mayor recently confirmed his plans to maintain the current temporary changes to the daily charge, operating hours and days of the Congestion Charge into 2021/22.
