Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:55 pm on 28 March 2017.
The Member has raised these issues before. We did look at them. It appears to us that, because of the nature of the legislation governing the Severn bridges, they are reserved. That does not mean, however, that the points that he’s already raised should not be investigated further. I’ll do that and I’ll write to him because they merit further investigation. Of course, the tolls on the old bridge are on the English side, and the tolls on the new bridge are on the Welsh side. We’d prefer it if there were no tolls at all on either side, and an agreement reached in terms of the maintenance of the bridges.
