§ Mr. Harrisonasked the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 14 November, Official Report, column 263, why the direction signpost at junction 30 of the southbound section of the M1 between Wakefield and London has still not been repaired.
§ Mr. RidleyMy reply of 14 November referred to the direction sign at the southbound exit to junction 30 which had been reported damaged on 9 October and was repaired on 28 October. I understand, however, that the right hon. Gentleman may have been referring to the one-mile advance warning sign at this junction which has also been damaged. It will be repaired as part of a larger re-signing scheme which I expect to be completed by the end of March 1986. The damage to this sign involves no threat to road safety and I have no information as to when it was damaged.
