Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• A public inquiry next week is to decide if the Humber Bridge Board, currently deep in debt, will be allowed to raise lorry tolls by almost 50%.

The Road Haulage Association is fighting the increases. On 18 October it will tell the Hull inquiry that: O Goods vehicle costs have risen faster than the rate of inflation, on which the toll rise to 211.60 for maximum-weight commercial vehicles is based O Tolls should be "realistic" to encourage use of the bridge O The whole principle of the "nonsense of tolls" should be questioned • There should be a clearer classification of which trucks should pay what tolls O The Government must say how much of the bridge's debt it is prepared to write off.
