The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-25867 by Lewis Macdonald on 28 May 2002, whether the Invergarry-Kyle of Lochalsh A87 Extension (Skye Bridge Crossing) Toll Order (SI 1992/1501) in any legal sense regulates the use of the A87.

The answer

Answered by Lewis Macdonald on 8 Aug 2002 · 28 days after it was lodged, on time

The Invergarry-Kyle of Lochalsh Trunk Road (A87) Extension (Skye Bridge Crossing) Toll Order 1992 authorises Scottish Ministers to charge tolls in respect of the Skye Bridge and to assign their rights to charge and collect tolls to a concessionaire. The order, as varied by The Invergarry-Kyle of Lochalsh Trunk Road (A87) Extension (Skye Bridge Crossing) Toll Order (Variation Order) 1999, further specifies the maximum tolls chargeable for vehicles using the crossing. Any further interpretation of the effect of the orders is a matter for the Scottish courts.
