HC Deb 24 October 1985 vol 84 cc187-8W
Mr. Peter Bruinvels

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when it is expected that all four motorway service stations on the M25 will be opened; and if he will give the anticipated dates of opening for each.

Mrs. Chalker

The motorway service area at South Mimms should, subject to final planning clearance, open towards the end of 1986 at about the time the M25 is completed. An MSA at Thurrock should be developed
