Speaking in the Debate in the SP this afternoon Ian Smith said, "I welcome the opportunity to once again put on record my support for the abolition of Tolls on the Tay Road Bridge.

"I was pleased to convince the Liberal Democrats to include the abolition of Tay Road Bridge Tolls in our manifesto for this year's Scottish Parliament elections.

"It was one of my personal priorities for North East Fife in the election campaign, and I thank the voters of North East Fife for again giving me their trust to deliver these priorities.

"The burden of the Tay Bridge Tolls has fallen most heavily on my constituents. Frankly we have paid enough, and it is time for these tolls to go and to go now."
