HC Deb 31 March 1999 vol 328 c720W
11. Mr. Fabricant

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to standardise road signs in Wales. [78069]

Mr. Hain

Monolingual traffic signs for use on roads in the UK are prescribed in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 1994. In order to ensure that bilingual traffic signs are designed to the same national standards, the Department has produced a full set of drawings which have been issued to local authorities in Wales.

Following the transfer of functions, this issue will be a matter for the National Assembly.
