HC Deb 01 August 1956 vol 557 cc161-2W
95. Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what was the purpose of the questionnaire he submitted to the Petroleum Industry Advisory Council regarding the siting of petrol-filling stations on new motor roads; and what action he proposes to take on the recommendations made to him.

Mr. Watkinson

The United Kingdom Petroleum Industry Advisory Committee and many other trade and motoring organisations have been asked for their views on the provision of ancillary services, including petrol filling stations, to serve traffic on the new motorways. The brief questionnaire distributed indicated some of the problems to be resolved and asked for comments. The replies will be taken into account in determining what arrangements should be made.
