HC Deb 20 January 1943 vol 386 c230W
Wing-Commander Hulbert

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will arrange that where signposts are being re-erected they will be at such a height as to be easily visible in the beam of dimmed headlights?

Mr. Noel-Baker

To give effect to my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion would involve the re-erection of signs at a height not exceeding 3 feet 6 inches. While in some cases this may be practicable, it would, in the majority, create a real danger to pedestrians, particularly during the black-out.
