§ Mr. Proctorasked the Secretary of State for Transport what progress has been made towards providing service stations and facilities on the M25.
§ Mr. David HowellAs my hon. Friend was told on 21 March—[Vol. 39, c.354]—we are studying the need for motorway service areas on the M25 giving particular urgency to the need for services on the north east section which is nearing completion and I hope to make an 322W announcement later this year. Good progress has been made by my Department in considering this issue but I regret that I cannot anticipate my announcement.
