HC Deb 04 October 1944 vol 403 cc939-40
65. Mr. Hugh Lawson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport if he is aware that milestones of historic interest in the West Riding of Yorkshire which were removed for reasons of security in 1940 have not yet been replaced; and if he will make a request to the local authorities concerned that these stones should be set up again in their original positions before their present whereabouts is forgotten.

Mr. Noel-Baker

I do not feel, however, that it would be appropriate at the present moment to issue a special circular, such as my hon. Friend proposes.
