To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has any plans to repeal current road tolling legislation. (S1O-2341)
Sarah Boyack
Labour
The Scottish Executive has no plans to repeal current road tolling legislation.
Irene McGugan
Scottish National Party
Given that the recent European Court of Justice ruling suggests that the Skye bridge tolls should be seen as a service charge, not a tax, is not it logical that the relevant sections of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991, which offend the European Court of Justice ruling and which subject protesters to criminal proceedings, should be repealed? That is within the remit of this Parliament.
Sarah Boyack
Labour
We have no plans to take that action.
