Neither a £10 or a £50 toll would effect retail prices.
Take a trailer full of tomatoes. Say 20,000 kg. For a kg of imported tomatoes to go up by 1 pence, the toll would need to be 20,000 pence. That's £200.
So a £50 toll on that freight would lead to an increase of one quarter of a pence per kg.
So if you buy 200 grammes of tomatoes, that's one fifth of quarter of a pence more.
And a £10 toll? one fifth of that.
It is not mathematically possible to increase retail prices on a toll of £10 or £50, Paul.
