§ Sir F. Medlicottasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware that only slow progress is being made by local authorities in carrying out the recommendations of the 1944 Departmental Committee on Signs, respecting the installation and design of street nameplates; that the present signs are often inadequate, obscure, and confusing, and the cause of inconvenience and waste of time and petrol; and if he will urge local authorities to accelerate the provision of more and better signs.
§ Mr. WatkinsonAlthough I am not formally responsible for street nameplates, my Department issued a circular in 1952 to local authorities giving detailed advice based on the recommendations of the 1944 Committee.
