§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Minister of Transport whether he has now reached any decision and, if so, of what nature in regard to the question of grants to be made from the Road Fund towards the installation and maintenance of signals on the roads?
§ Mr. HERBERT MORRISONHighway authorities were informed in January last that in cases where light signals for traffic control are erected with my prior approval, I shall be prepared, as regards areas outside the Metropolitan and City of London Police districts, to contribute 60 per cent. of the approved expenditure incurred on the provision, erection and subsequent maintenance of the signal installation. In the Metropolitan and City of London Police districts, special considerations arise and, where the installation of light signals for the control of traffic in these districts is considered desirable, such grant will be made as the circumstances of the individual case may require.
