Tories take lead in opposing road tolls
THE Tories will try to turn up the heat on the Executive over pay-as-you-drive road charging in a Holyrood debate on Thursday.
The party will call on MSPs to oppose any national charging scheme and repeal powers enabling councils to introduce road tolls locally.
The Conservatives are likely to seek to highlight confusion caused by the Liberal Democrats, who announced at the weekend that they would consider cutting motoring taxes in Scotland in order to speed up the introduction of charging if it were to be delayed in England.
