HC Deb 07 March 1977 vol 927 cc396-7W
Mr. Hodgson

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what powers his Department has, including the terms of leasing facilities, to regulate the price and quality of food served at motorway service area restaurants.

Mr. Horam

It is a condition of service area leases that the lessees provide all the services specified in the lease to the satisfaction of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State. Specifically, in respect of catering services, operators are required to provide meals and refreshments of good quality at reasonable prices.
