In the case of the longest spacing, if a driver is short of fuel and has just passed a Motorway Service Area, it is possible for the driver to use the next available junction to return to the service area they have just passed, and would therefore be closer to a service area than this.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 17/12/2014 09:33:06 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
