Maria Eagle – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Maria Eagle on 2016-07-20.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will extend the local discount scheme to residents across Merseyside to allow them to travel toll-free across the Mersey Gateway and Silver Jubilee bridges when they open in 2017.

Mr David Gauke

My officials continue to work with the Department for Transport on the financial and contractual implications of any further extension of user discounts. A decision will be made on this in due course.
