HC Deb 31 March 1981 vol 2 c88W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if, in view of the prevailing standards of service and the high prices charged, he will set up an inquiry into motorway cafeterias.

Mr. Fowler

[pursuant to his reply, 30 March 1981]: Experience has shown that improvements do not come from inquiries and inspections. Motorway service area operators should be directly answerable to the public and subject to maximum competition. I believe that is the way of ensuring better standards.
