To ask the Scottish Executive what factors it will consider when reviewing the future of tolls on the Forth and Tay road bridges.
Answer
The Executive made a commitment in our transport white paper,
Scotland’s Transport Future, to carry out a two-phase review of the tolled bridges in Scotland, including the Forth and Tay road bridges. Phase one of the review is nowcomplete and the resulting report is available on the Executive’s website at:
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/library5/enterprise/tobr-00.asp.The phase one report includes the terms of reference for phase two. Phase two willspecifically consider the impact of future tolls on both the Tay and Forth roadbridges looking specifically at congestion, pollution and the environment. A major issue will be how to reduce the significant number of single occupancyvehicles using both bridges.

To ask the Scottish Executive what plans it has to encourage a commuter ferry service from Kirkcaldy to Leith.
Answer
Forth Estuary Transport Authority, City of Edinburgh Council, Fife Council and Forth Ports Authority are considering the findings of a report on the options for a cross-Forth passenger service. No formal approach has been made to the Executive and it is too early to comment on whether it might be able to give any financial support to such a scheme.
