§ 73. Lieut. - Colonel HOWARD - BURYasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the great difficulty that motorists have of finding their way through the larger towns in this country owing to the lack of signposts; and whether his Department will take up this question and have proper signboards placed along the main roads through the principal towns of this country?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Gosling)I am anxious to encourage the provision of signposts and of other suitable directions to traffic, and my Department has given and will continue to give financial assistance to highway authorities for that purpose. Considerable progress has already been made.
§ Lieut.-Colonel HOWARD-BURYCannot the hon. Gentleman issue a circular letter to all highway authorities instructing them to do their best in putting signposts through the big towns, where it is extremely difficult to find one's way now?
§ Mr. GOSLINGI will see if anything more can be done.
