• The Government may impose tolls on drivers ir ingested inner-city areas, iays Paul Channon, the Secretary of State for Transport.
This will only be introduced as a last resort, however, if all other efforts to unclog urban roads fail.
He agrees that it is a "deeply unattractive and very unfair scheme", but argues that if the alternative is intolerable traffic, then it may be the lesser of two evils.
He appears to rule out innercity motorways, favouring instead better public transport and more park-and-ride schemes. Charmon issued the warning on BBC's Panorama programme on Monday.
