Transport written question – answered at on 29 January 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the effect on road safety on the granting of the licensing of public houses at motorway service stations.
The Licensing Act 2003 bans the sale of alcohol at certain motorway service areas (MSAs) but does not extend to all of them. At MSAs which are not covered by this Act, the granting of premise licenses for the sale and consumption of alcohol is a matter for the local licensing authority. The Government is not consulted on the decisions made by these authorities and any advice on road safety matters is provided by the police.
