I was concerned to hear in the past few weeks, as well as in a debate on radio this morning, that hauliers who crossed the Border into Northern Ireland would be charged £10 for every trip they made. This will have serious consequences and we should try to do something about it on behalf of people who live along the Border who might cross into Northern Ireland several times a day. We have given large sums of money to the roads authorities in Northern Ireland and pledged considerably more in the future. It is unfair and there will be serious consequences for people who live along the Border if they are to be charged £10 for every trip they make.
