Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Tony Wright (Labour), on Monday, 9 October 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 40 members in total.


REGULATIONS GOVERNING MOTORWAY SERVICE AREAS

That this House calls for the modernisation of the regulations governing motorway service areas (MSAs); notes that the MSA industry has been calling upon the Highways Agency to issue a public consultation on the MSA regulatory environment since summer 2004, only to see it repeatedly delayed by the Department for Transport; recognises that MSA operators have a crucial role to play in encouraging drivers to stop and take a break and that these numbers can be increased by the use of brand awareness on MSA entrance signs, helping to reduce the number of sleep-related accidents; and calls upon the Department to take this issue seriously in order to enhance the motoring experience of millions of motorway users.
