KEY POINTS:
National's transport spokesman, Maurice Williamson, said in the weekend that commuters could face bills of up to $50 a week for tolls of $3 to $5 a trip on new motorways or similar "roads of national importance".
However party leadership swung into damage-control mode yesterday to limit fallout from the comments, which leader John Key has disowned and political opponents have seized upon.
Mr Williamson clarifed that National would not be imposing $50 a week of road tolls on motorists as he had freely discussed in interviews.
