To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has made of the cost of replacing road signage to take account of the changes in local government implemented on 1 April. [25415]

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what procedures have to be followed to change motorway signs to take account of the local government changes brought into effect on 1 April; and what estimate he has made of the cost of such changes. [25416]
