Motorway Service Areas (Hansard, 19 January 1993)

HC Deb 19 January 1993 vol 217 c174W 174W

§ Mr. Llwyd
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will establish a target date by which time motorway service areas will be located at an average distance of 30 miles apart throughout the United Kingdom motorway network.

§ Mr. Kenneth Carlisle
No. Under a new policy on the provision of motorway service areas announced on 6 August, it is now for the private sector rather than the Government to identify where there is a need for further motorway services and to secure their development.
