Proceeding contribution from Greg Knight (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 29 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Historic Counties, Towns and Villages (Traffic Signs and Mapping) Bill.


Historic Counties, Towns and Villages (Traffic Signs and Mapping) Bill

Given that I represent the beautiful East Riding of Yorkshire, I support everything that my hon. Friend says. For a time, that area was told, against its will, that it was no longer the East Riding but part of Humberside—a name that no one in the East Riding accepted or wanted. Will the Bill enable signs to include an emblem, motif or coat of arms? Many people would like their local emblem—whether a white rose or a coat of arms that relates to an area—to be displayed on the sign.
