Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Government monitors the extent of fuel price differentials between motorway and non-motorway service stations.

The Department does not monitor the pricing of fuel at Motorway Service Areas.

However, the Department does monitor areas of concern raised by road users in order to make improvements. Recent research by Transport Focus, the independent watchdog representing users of England’s major roads, concluded that overall Motorway Service Areas do meet the needs of most users.
