asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that after the Spalding Rail Road Safety Committee had recommended a "Halt" sign at Gosberton Risegate, which recommendation had been agreed to by the Holland County Council Highway Committee, sanction was refused by his Ministry, since when a serious accident has happened in the vicinity; and if he will make a statement.

In my view the existing "Slow major road ahead" sign is adequate and a "Halt" sign would not have prevented the accident referred to which resulted in the conviction of the driver responsible for driving without due care and attention.
