The last program added up all user charges and compared that total to the result from the computer's internal accounting program.

They claimed the user charge was unconstitutional and sought relief with compound interest.

Those services are currently means tested, but only 12% - about £300m - of the gross cost is covered through user charges.

It can be done by increasing the relevant user charges, which would also lead to a reduction in their demand.

A system of user charges such as this must not be instrumental in obstructing transport with the result that the economy and employment are hit.

We are examining three alternative solutions: tax, inclusion in the gas trading system or user charges.

The level of the European user charge is so ridiculously low that not one tonne less will be carried by road.

I supported the simplification of user charges proposed by the Committee on Transport.

A user charge is a charge for the use of a product or service.

The initial effect of realigning user charges to account for road wear would be to increase the total tax burden on trucks.
