§ 43. Captain Pilkingtonasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many signs indicating the mileage between Liverpool and Manchester there are at present on the East Lancashire road.
§ Mr. NugentI am informed that there are none.
§ Captain PilkingtonDoes my hon. Friend acquiesce in this? Surely it is 932 very bad not to have mileages shown on a long road such as this. Is he doing anything to encourage mileage marks to be put on roads in other parts of the country?
§ Mr. NugentWe have already sent out a direction giving advice on this matter of placing mileage signs on roads. We have had some further discussion on the matter among our divisional road engineers, and we should certainly wish to encourage this marking.
