The point on the discounts is that TII is giving out gold-plated contracts in that Mr. Masterson is telling me it cannot force the operators to institute the 10% discount, in the same way that there are express lanes all over Europe for trucks. They do not stop: a barrier lifts 100 yards from where a tag is recognised, in which case there is no waste of fuel or buildup of nitrogen oxide emissions. TII, as an organisation, or whatever other body is responsible, has failed to insist that the operators create the lanes to which I refer. We have no express lane at any toll barrier other than on the M50. TII is causing much of the emissions.
