HC Deb 29 July 1964 vol 699 cc309-10W
Mr. Clive Bossom

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the delay in the laying of the regulations implementing the recommendations of the Worboys Report and in the publication of the Manual, he will give guidance to local authorities on the use of reflectorised markings for the edges of carriageways.

Mr. Marples

I think it better to concentrate on producing the complete Manual. The delay in reorganising our programme to bring forward this item would not be justified.

Mr. Clive Bossom

asked the Minister of Transport if he will instruct his divisional road engineers to authorise the use of reflectorised edge markings where they are included in road schemes submitted for approval for grant.

Mr. Marples

The Manual on traffic signs now being prepared will give local authorities advice on the use of these markings, which would normally be eligible for grant.
