as part of the wider work on national road pricing … to develop a single, comprehensive, cost-effective system… the current procurement for lorry road user charging will not continue’.5 It is noteworthy that although the Lorry User Charge scheme was the responsibility of HM Revenue and Customs (as Customs and Excise
had become), it was Darling as Transport Secretary that announced its demise.
With Darling anticipating that a national road user charging system is unlikely to be in operation much before 2020, and with questions as to whether it will ever be efficient to have a truly national system, rather than one limited to the more congested parts of the network, the basic objectives of the Lorry Road User Charge announced by Gordon Brown in 2002, of providing a level playing field within the UK for truck operators regardless of their nationality, have at best been frozen for a decade, or for good.
The future of congestion and distance-based road user charges in the UK depends on the progress of the national debate called for by Alistair Darling and whether a political consensus can be established. Hopefully, as well as providing a record of the development of congestion charging in London and its early impacts, this book will help some in contributing to that debate.
