Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport, further to the publication of the Travers report, if his Department has carried out a review of the legal basis for all charges and fees levied by his Department and agencies under the aegis of his Department; the outcome of any such review; if any charges have been identified which do not have an adequate legal basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

My Department is carrying out a review of the legal basis for its charges and fees. As part of this review my Department is seeking legal advice from the Office of the Attorney General as to whether the legal basis for these charges is adequate in all cases. The need to examine the basis for charges is being brought to the attention of the agencies.
