§ 71. Mr. LEVYasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that many local authorities have not yet erected de-restriction signs; and will he call their urgent attention to this neglect?
§ The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Hore-Belisha)In addition to the steps which I have already announced, I have decided to issue a circular letter to all local authorities pointing out that it is essential that any de-restriction signs not yet in position should be erected without delay.
§ Mr. LEVYWhile thanking the hon. Member for his reply, may I ask whether he appreciates the fact that a motorist never knows whether he is inside or outside one of these cat-and-mouse areas until these de-restriction signs are erected?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe statement of the hon. Member is rather too sweeping. There may be some areas where these signs are not erected, that I am willing to admit, but I am doing my best to remove the grievance.
