§ Mr. ButlerTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received about the provision of truck stops or lorry parks close to the M6; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. AtkinsThere have been several representations to the Department about the proposed truck stop at Lymm on the M6. Representations have come from the developers of the proposed truck stop, from local residents, from the hon. Member for Glasgow, Shettleston (Mr. Marshall) and from my hon. Friend himself, in whose constituency the proposed development lies.
More general representations have also been made about adequacy of service facilities for heavy goods vehicles on motorways. If my hon. Friend has any other specific questions in mind about truck stops in relation to M6, perhaps he will write to me.
