HC Deb 20 June 1973 vol 858 cc673-4
21. Miss Joan Hall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will arrange for an investigation into signposting to Keighley, and in particular from the M606 through Bradford.

Mr. Speed

Signing within Bradford is the responsibility of the city council. The Department's regional office has been asked to discuss possible improvements with it.

Miss Hall

I am glad to hear that. I appreciate that the Minister is not intimately concerned with the question of signposting in Keighley, but I assure him that it is appallingly bad. Skipton, a much smaller town, has many more sign-posts. Last year—

Mr. Speaker

Order. The hon. Lady must ask a supplementary question.

Miss Hall

When he is next in the West Riding, will my hon. Friend come with me to Keighley so that I may show him what the situation is?

Mr. Speed

I am always happy to accept my hon. Friend's invitation to go anywhere with her. I know this part of the country very well, and I hope that the discussions that we are having with the Bradford City Council will go some way towards satisfying my hon. Friend.
