Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much in VAT revenue accrued to the public purse from the Severn Crossings tolls in (a) 2013-14 and (b) 2012-13.

HMRC have a statutory duty of confidentiality which limits the information they can disclose, including to Ministers. However, I can refer the Honourable Member to the answer given on 18^th July 2014 in HL1269, which was based on the company’s accounts.
