Sian Berry speaks in support of the Liberal Democrat amendment at the London Assembly Plenary meeting on the Mayor's draft Consolidated Budget for 2019-2020,  24 January 2019

The amendment would provide for a study into road pricing in London. A future road pricing system could charge based on time, distance and emissions rather than simply crossing a cordon. There is no reason for the system to be invasive, and she underlined the risks a cobbled together system would present if it simply tracked people's journeys rather than a smarter approach that could be stronger on privacy.
