HC Deb 17 January 1978 vol 942 cc187-8W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how much has been spent by the Government on bilingual road signs in Wales.

Mr. Barry Jones

A total of about £1,030,000 on trunk roads since June 1974. The greater part of this expenditure would have been incurred in any event on monolingual signs, which would have had to be replaced or newly provided. The extent to which transport supplementary grant has been used to finance bilingual signs on county roads is not known as this is a matter for each county.
