Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information his Department holds on the extent of price differentials between motorway and non-motorway service stations; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by John Hayes
The Department does not monitor the pricing of fuel at Motorway Service Areas or on Trunk Roads.
