Labour has shelved its controversial plans for a national 'pay-as-you-drive' road pricing amid fears it would turn off millions of voters, new Transport Secretary Lord Adonis has confirmed.
Now was 'not the time' to introduce the proposed scheme that would see drivers pay up to £1.50 a mile for the privilege of driving on the road, he said.
