HC Deb 05 August 1965 vol 717 c415W
Mr. Rowland

asked the Minister of Transport what proportion of retail meal costs at service areas on the M.1 motorway are attributable to the cost of leases granted by the Ministry of Transport.

Mr. Tom Fraser

The proportion varies from site to site and in relation to levels of gross turnover, including fuel sales. It would require a wholly disproportionate amount of time to calculate the figures requested, and the results would have no significance.

Mr. Rowland

asked the Minister of Transport if he will request service area operators on the M.1 to lower the cost of coffee at self-service cafeterias, with a view to encouraging safer driving.

Mr. Tom Fraser

No.
