Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Transport why there has been delay in the erection of notices informing the public of the presence of the subway under Park Lane, near Alford Street; and when it will be erected.
§ Mr. MarplesI understand that the Westminster City Council which became responsible as highway authority on 30th September, 1963, is preparing a plan for the erection of signs for this and other nearby subways, which it expects to submit for my approval shortly. Previously, the London County Council had proposed the erection of signs to a new design. But it was decided that, until a design conforming to the principles recommended by the74W Worboys Committee had been prepared and promulgated, the existing standard design should be used.
