I refer to the comprehensive reply to Question No. 108 on 27 March in which I set out my position in this matter. No toll scheme in respect of the route in question has been submitted to me. I am aware of the significant level of opposition to any proposals to impose tolls on the C Ring and I have received a considerable level of correspondence from groups representing motorists, from residents' organisations and from individuals on the subject. Apart from the additional expense for individual motorists, there is significant concern that the imposition of tolls could divert large volumes of traffic away from the motorway on to the surrounding network, resulting in a detrimental environmental impact and loss of residential amenity, and giving rise to demands for additional road construction and maintenance costs at other locations. I believe that these concerns have considerable validity and they would bear heavily on any decision I might be called on to make should the NRA proceed with proposals for tolling the C Ring.
