    From This Is Kent 8th January 2013:
    "Earlier this month the Department of Transport said it was looking at tolling schemes to fund "new capacity" in limited circumstances."

    "This autumn George Osborne announced that a feasibility study would be carried out by the DfT to explore how new road-building projects could be funded."

    "Dover and Deal MP Charlie Elphicke said: "It's a case of wait and see. There is a much stronger case for lorry tolls to even up the playing field between foreign and British hauliers."

    So the lorry toll proposal I've been making on freight does appear to be accepted now even by MP Charlie Elphicke, although I'm not sure if this reflects in DPPT's hitherto contrary stance to my port toll submission to the DfT.
