§ Earl Wintertonasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that no notice marks the entry on main roads into the defence and restricted areas in the South of England; that this leads to inadvertent breaches of the law; and whether he will take action to have notice boards erected on main roads and at railway stations?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonNotices are already posted at railway stations. I am inquiring into the question of posting notices on certain roads.
§ Earl Wintertonasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that many persons find difficulty in interpreting the instructions and prohibitions governing entry into the restricted and defence areas; and that the various police authorities, in the absence of definitions covering all cases which may arise under the regulations, are not always in a position to answer questions put to them by the public regarding the regulations; and whether he will take steps to meet this situation?
§ Mr. MorrisonStatements have been issued from time to time informing the public of the restrictions imposed under Defence Regulations on visits to certain coastal areas and I am not aware of any general difficulty in interpreting the instructions. If my right hon. Friend has any particular type of difficulty in mind I shall be glad to have it examined.
