§ Mr. Tim SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has yet decided to proceed with the proposal for a motorway service area on M25 at Iver, Buckinghamshire.
§ Mr. ChannonI have decided to proceed with our proposal for a service area at Iver. On the information before me I have concluded that a service area here will be well placed to serve needs on a heavily trafficked sector of M25, and that the site proposed is appropriate for that purpose. Preparations and consultations are now being put in hand with a view to application in the late spring for planning clearance and authority to acquire the land.
