§ Mr. Bullasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the inadequacy of the signposts, both for local and long-distance guidance, in the suburbs of London; and whether he will call the attention of the local authorities concerned to the need for improvement?
§ Mr. BurginThis matter has engaged my attention for sometime: and if my hon. Friend has any particular route in mind, perhaps he will be good enough to send me particulars.

§ Mr. Bullasked the Minister of Transport whether he will call the attention of local authorities in the Greater London area to the fact that the names of long streets are often only displayed at the beginning and the end, and that persons entering such streets by intervening roads have no means of knowing the name of the street they are in except by going to one end or the other; and whether, in addition, he will suggest that better street marking should be introduced?
§ Mr. BurginFrom time to time I have drawn the attention of all local authorities to the need for a more adequate and uniform display of street name plates. The subject is now under consideration by the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee, and I will see that the suggestions of my hon. Friend are placed before them.
