HC Deb 23 March 1944 vol 398 cc1065-6W
Lady Apsley

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport if, in view of the fact that he has already authorised local authorities to restore signposts in country districts, he will now instruct them also to replace the old milestones to their former positions.

Mr. Noel-Baker

Milestones are of value to all who use the roads, and they are often of archaeological interest as well. I hope, therefore, that highway authorities will replace them wherever possible, as soon as they can spare the labour which is required.
