HC Deb 17 February 1938 vol 331 cc2111-2W
Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Transport the number of cases in which the consent of his Department has been given during each of the last three years to the signposting of footpaths and bridleways; and in how many cases financial grants have been made?

Mr. Burgin

My consent is not required for the signposting of footpaths and bridle-ways, except where it is proposed to use some new type of sign on the highway itself. The expenditure on signposting of footpaths is not distinguished in the records of my Department from other expenditure covered by "classification grants."
