Motorway Service Areas

Volume 460: debated on Tuesday 22 May 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what progress has been made with the piloting of French-style rest areas next to motorways. (137908)

Officials are currently undertaking a review of the policy on roadside facilities. As part of that review, evidence has been sought from the public and interested parties on relevant issues, including motorway rest areas. The evidence received is being considered and I hope to be able to publish a new policy in the autumn, following further public consultation.
