A Bill to confer further powers upon Transport for London; and for related purposes.
Under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 highway authorities, such as Transport for London, may implement a toll order for a new road. This Bill (as originally introduced) would allow Transport for London to make supplemental (i.e. amending) toll orders for any tolled new roads after they have come into operation.Further information can be found in the Explanatory Memorandum that accompanies the Bill.Read the Explanatory Memorandum

This is a private bill that would give Transport for London extra powers to change tolls on tolled new roads after they have opened. It would allow TfL to amend existing toll orders for those roads without needing new primary legislation, providing flexibility in toll management for London’s tolled routes.
The bill is currently at the 2nd reading in the House of Commons. It has a lengthy parliamentary history, having undergone readings in both Houses and several suspensions since its initial introduction, including a Lords 3rd reading in 2011.

Following a decision by the Chairman of Committees, House of Lords and the Chairman of Ways and Means, House of Commons the Bill will not be offered an opportunity to continue its passage through Parliament in Session 2012-13. The Bill will therefore not make any further progress.
The second reading of the Bill has been repeatedly opposed. A blocking motion has been tabled by a Member of Parliament which, while it remains in place, will effectively prevent the bill receiving a second reading until a debate is held. No date for a debate has yet been agreed. The table above shows the progress of the Bill and the next date the motion will be taken.
No recorded votes for this bill yet.
