HC Deb 11 June 1976 vol 912 cc782-3W
Mr. Moonman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will consider conducting an inquiry into the method of granting concessions to caterers on the motorways; and, in order to improve the present standards of these restaurants, if he will take account of the system adopted in West Germany.

Mr. Marks

The method of leasing concessions to service area operators is kept constantly under review. Conditions in West Germany, or, indeed, in other continental countries, differ appreciably from our own both in regard to the traffic and to catering usage.
