HC Deb 24 October 1963 vol 682 cc254-5W
Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Minister of Transport why some 50 miles per hour signs were covered on certain main roads such as A.11 while the nationwide 50 miles per hour limit was in force; and whether, in order to avoid confusion to motorists in future on such occasions, he will arrange for all 50 miles per hour signs to remain uncovered.

Mr. Marples

Instructions were given for all the temporary "50" signs to be kept covered during the five week-ends when there was a general speed limit. It would have been more confusing to have signs on some of the roads subject to the general speed limit and not on the rest.
