Mark Harper explains why Sadiq Khan is wrong on ULEZ<\/h3>\n

London motorists could soon be hit with a new road pricing tax scheme which will charge motorists for every mile they travel.<\/p>\n

A new pay-per-mile system has been on the cards for months despite opposition to Sadiq Khan\u2019s London ULEZ expansion.<\/p>\n

No official announcement has been made on the scheme but the a Conservative\u00a0councillor had predicted it could be in place by 2025.<\/p>\n

Simon Fawthrop, a Conservative councillor from Bromley, has predicted the scheme could be introduced under a different name in an apparent bid to hide its true intention from drivers.<\/p>\n

He told Express.co.uk: \u201cHis plan is to have road pricing in 2025. He\u2019ll call it something else. He won\u2019t call it road pricing, he won\u2019t call it pay per mile. He\u2019ll call it something else.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the bizarre thing, according to his own finances by 2027, so three years after this ULEZ is introduced basically, it is going to raise no money whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: “Also the great fear for people here is not what ULEZ is now. It’s what it will become in 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that they wanted to have road pricing, or pay per mile, whatever they want to call it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government say \u2018oh we will stop him having road pricing\u2019, but they haven’t said we will stop him having ULEZ. So that\u2019s a little disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in February, Mr Khan admitted they were looking into the issue of a new charging system to replace the current ULEZ and Congestion Charge schemes at Mayor\u2019s Question Time.<\/p>\n

When asked about a London-wide road user charging system, Mr Khan said he had asked Transport for London to look into the issue.<\/p>\n

He replied: \u201cI have asked Transport for London (TfL) to investigate how we could replace existing schemes, including the Congestion Charge and the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), with a single, integrated road user charging scheme that uses more sophisticated technology to make it as simple and fair as possible for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Answering a question from the London Assembly, Mr Khan also hinted that \u201cANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras could be used.<\/p>\n

In the past, he has looked into the likelihood of Singapore-style toll roads but admitted it was \u201ctoo clunky\u201d for London.<\/p>\n

However, he did admit that he wanted a new system which would charge drivers on a \u201cbespoke basis\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Mayor of London’s Office denied that a road pricing system would be introduced. In a statement to Express.co.uk, a spokesperon said: “This is nonsense. The Mayor has been clear that there are no proposals on the table for such a scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n
