§ 61. Mr. Manderasked the Home Secretary whether he will make it clear that the Removal of Direction Signs Order, dealing with the obliteration of place names, applies to farm vehicles?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe Removal of Direction Signs Order applies to all signs visible from a highway which indicate the situation of any place. As place names on farm vehicles might assist an invader to find his way, my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries has recently asked farmers to obliterate all such names from these vehicles.
§ Mr. ManderIs the Home Secretary aware that a great many farmers do not know of this matter; and, in view of its very great importance, will he see that it is brought to their attention?
§ Sir J. AndersonI will certainly consult with my right hon. Friend.
§ Sir Irving AlberyIs this not going rather far? Any invader in this country will certainly be supplied with excellent maps.
