Mr Richard Ottaway
Mr John M. Taylor 762 Clause 200, page 104, line 9, at end insert—'(1A) The purpose of any charges imposed by regulations issued pursuant to subsection (1) above shall be to encourage the use by individuals of public passenger transport services in preference to other forms of transport. Regulations issued pursuant to subsection (1) above shall be drafted, applied and interpreted in the light of this purpose, and any feature of or provision within any purported regulations which is neither essential nor reasonably incidental to such purpose shall be void and of no effect. (1B) In order to fulfil the purpose noted in subsection (1A) above, no regulations shall be made pursuant to subsection (1) above which impose a charge for the use of any road unless they contain a provision for the Authority or any London borough council or the Common Council, as is appropriate (in this section "the charging body"), to make payments to any resident (including the occupier of any business premises) of the area over which they have authority. (1C) The payments referred to in subsection (1B) above shall be calculated, as far as is reasonably practicable, to be equal to the charges which would be borne by a person who used the road or roads in question no more than the average during a twelve month period. The charging body shall review the level of payments each year to ensure that the purpose in subsection (1A) is fulfilled. (1D) In order to calculate the payments referred to in subsection (1B) above, no regulations pursuant to subsection (1) above may be made unless the charging body in question has first conducted research over at least three months into the level of use of the road or roads in question (including such information as the number of persons using such roads or roads the frequency with which they use the road or roads in question, the nature of the motor vehicles used, and the distance travelled by them within the relevant area). (1E) Where the research conducted pursuant to subsection (1D) above indicates to a charging body that the payments required by subsection (1B) above cannot be calculated with reasonable accuracy, then no regulations relating to the road or roads in question may be issued pursuant to subsection (1). (1F) The results of the research conducted pursuant to subsection (1D) above shall be available at no charge to members of the public and published electronically by the charging body in a form capable of access by members of the public.'.
Mr Richard Ottaway 763 Clause 200, page 104, line 9, at end insert—'(1G) In order to fulfil the purpose noted in subsection (1A) above, no regulations shall be made pursuant to subsection (1) above which impose a charge for the keeping of any motor vehicle which exceeds 1 per cent. of the value which might reasonably be expected to be received if the motor vehicle in question were to be sold on the open market at the time that the charge is imposed. (1H) In order to calculate the limit referred to in subsection (1G) above, no regulations imposing a charge on any class of motor vehicle pursuant to subsection (1) above may be made unless the charging body in question has first conducted research over at least three months into the likely values which could be received on the sale of such class of motor vehicle. (1J) The results of the research conducted pursuant to subsection (1H) above shall be available at no charge to members of the public and published electronically by the charging body in a form capable of access by members of the public.'.

(3B) If the Authority reasonably considers that a charging scheme needs to be introduced by a London borough or boroughs—
the Authority may invite such London borough or boroughs to introduce a charging scheme for that purpose. (3C) If any London borough in question shall fail to introduce a suitable charging scheme within a reasonable period the Authority may impose such a charging scheme provided that it shall have no power to do so if such charging scheme would conflict with the local implementation plan of that London borough or otherwise have an adverse effect on the provision of public transport or management of traffic or movement of pedestrians and cyclists within such London borough.'.
Mr Richard Ottaway 660 Schedule 13, page 180, line 33, leave out from 'to' to end and insert 'the Mayor who shall confirm the same unless he reasonably considers the charging scheme does not comply with Clause 5 below or is likely to have an adverse effect on the provision of public transport or management of traffic or movement of pedestrians and cyclists on any GLA or trunk road or within any other London borough or Greater London as a whole, in which event he may require the authority concerned to make such modifications to the charging scheme as will meet such objections before it is confirmed'.
