§ Lieut. - Colonel Bromley - Davenportasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether, in view of the fact that traffic signs with a red face are often seen with the back of the sign also coloured red, he will take the opportunity of regularising the position by revising the Traffic Signs (Size, Colour and Type) Regulations and General Directions so as to prescribe the use of a neutral colour for the backs of traffic signs, which would agree with the recommendations of the United Nations Road and Motor Transport Convention, Article 6, paragraph 3, of the Protocol on Road Signs and Signals, 1949, and Article 3, paragraph 2, of the 1952 Draft Protocol.
