asked the Secretary of State for Wales when is it expected that the Bowen Committee on Road Signs will report.

The committee is pressing ahead with its investigations but it is not yet possible to give a firm date for the submission of its report.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the countries visited by members of the Bowen Committee in their investigation of road signs; and if he will indicate the number of members who went in each case.

The information is as follows:

• Irish Republic—Chairman and seven members.
• Finland—Chairman and three members.
• Switzerland—Chairman and two members.

Arrangements have been made for the chairman and two members to visit Belgium later this week. In all cases they have been accompanied by two officials.

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the names of organisations and individuals that have given oral or written evidence to the Bowen Committee on Road Signs.

I understand that the committee has received evidence from over 100 organisations or individuals, and in accordance with the usual practice will be considering including the names in its report.
