That this House notes with pleasure the announcement by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport that Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is to be one of the United Kingdom's three nominations to UNESCO for consideration as a World Heritage site; recognises that Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is one of the world's most renowned and spectacular achievements of waterways engineering; applauds the huge efforts made by the supporters of the Aqueduct's bid; further notes that, if successful, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct would be only the third World Heritage site in Wales; further notes that 2007 will be the 250th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Telford, the Aqueduct's engineer, and that it would be a fitting tribute to his engineering genius to ensure the completion of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct's nomination documents; and urges the Government, in conjunction with the Welsh Assembly, to press UNESCO at every opportunity to ensure Pontcysyllte Aqueduct's successful application.

That this House notes the advice of Advocate General Siegbert Alber that VAT should be levied on bridge tolls within the United Kingdom; regrets the possible implications of this advice for charges on the Tamar Bridge; is particularly concerned about the implications of extra charges for residents of Devon and Cornwall who use the Tamar Bridge as an essential link between the two counties; believes that the imposition of VAT on Tamar tolls would have a damaging impact on business, particularly in the Objective One area of Cornwall, and individuals as there is currently no genuine alternative route; and, noting the ability of member state governments to allow exemptions from VAT requirements, urges Her Majesty's Government to recognise that the one-lane 15th century bridge at Gunnislake does not provide a viable alternative route between Devon and Cornwall and that, therefore, the Tamar Bridge should be exempted from VAT.
