SECRETARY

FOR LANDS AND

WORKS : Sir, in those

circumstances every effort would be made to trace the

person who was originally responsible for putting up the

sign. Efforts are in any case made in connection with the

expenditure but it is quite possible that in such an event

there would be no obvious person who was liable for

somebody injured and therefore, as I said before, the

Government has to concentrate on ensuring the safety of

all signs which are up, abandoned or otherwise.
