§ 23. Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the recent confusion caused by the lack of uniformity in road signs at present used in Great Britain; and what steps his Department are taking for the purpose of regulating them?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Pybus)I agree with the hon. Member as to the importance of uniformity in road signs, and I have invited the Home Office, the Scottish Office and a number of associations representing local authorities and the users of highways to nominate representatives to serve on a committee for the purpose of considering such signs and making recommendations as to the way in which my powers under Section 48 of the Road Traffic Act on this matter can best be exercised in the public interest.
§ Mr. PYBUSWe have had a good many replies, but not to the whole lot. We hope to set up the committee before the end of the month.
