HL Deb 11 November 1999 vol 606 cc232-3WA
The Earl of Harrowby

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress has been made on the establishment of a service station on the M.40 between London and the Oxford service station. [HL4604]

Lord Whitty

A proposal for a motorway service area between Junctions 1A and 2 of the M.40, near Hedgerley, is currently the subject of a public inquiry. A decision on whether planning permission should be granted will be a matter for my right honourable friend the Secretary of State in the light of the recommendations of the inquiry Inspector.
