Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 27 May 2016 to Question 37865, on large goods vehicles, when he expects officials of his Department to report to him on steps to improve the provision and quality of roadside facilities.

The Department is currently working on what can be done to work with the industry to improve the provision and quality of roadside facilities, which will also need to take account of research being currently undertaken by Transport Focus. I anticipate that officials will be able to provide advice on the next steps this summer.
