HC Deb 28 October 1986 vol 103 c110W
Mr. Speed

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many motorway service areas will be operational on the M25 motorway when it is completed.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

None. The motorway service area at South Mimms will provide fuel from mid-November, and is expected to be fully open in the spring. Tenders have been obtained for a site at Thurrock and I aim to announce a decision on this shortly. The proposal for a site at Clacket Lane near Westerham is currently being considered at a public inquiry. We are still examining the possibility of a site at Iver on the west side of the M25.
