HC Deb 24 February 1937 vol 320 cc1998-9
65. Captain Strickland

asked the Minister of Transport whether any action has been taken by his Department since the issue in 1930 of the Circular No. 240 (Roads) to highway authorities on the display of street names to ensure the more conspicuous and uniform display of street names, especially at road junctions on main roads in urban areas; and whether he will consider the issue of a new edition of the circular revised, in view of the recommendations made by the Departmental Committee on Traffic Signs, in order to assist vehicle drivers in recognising the names of streets?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Yes, Sir. I have again drawn the attention of highway authorities to this matter by a Circular issued on 3oth January this year.

Mr. H. G. Williams

Will the right hon. Gentleman draw the attention of urban authorities to this matter, as their conduct is very much worse?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I have already done so.
