HC Deb 28 June 1983 vol 44 cc59-60W
Mr. Speed

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he will announce the proposed sites for service areas on the M25 and M20 motorways.

Mrs. Chalker

I hope to make an announcement shortly about our policy on the provision of motorway service areas on the M25. Now that the Maidstone to Ashford section has been reinstated in the active programme, we have set in hand consideration of requirements for service areas on the M20 with a view to services being available by the time that section is open to traffic.
