§ 37. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Minister of Transport whether there is any money available in his Department to erect further sign posts at the many cross-roads throughout the country where none exist to-day; and, if so, whether place, names, and mileage distance can be painted on at the same time?
§ Colonel ASHLEY:I am always willing to receive applications for assistance from highway authorities who are prepared to erect sign posts at important road junctions. The standard direction posts recommended by my Department give all the particulars which my hon. Friend specifies
§ Sir H. BRITTAINAre there not many hundreds of cross roads that are unmarked, and has not the right hon. Gentleman himself been lost many a time late at night because of the absence of such marks?
§ Colonel ASHLEY:In my constituency the local authorities are so energetic that all the cross-roads are marked
§ Sir H. BRITTAIN:Will the right hon. Gentleman pass that energy on to other constituencies?
