UNIDENTIFIED FLYING
OBJECTS
The Earl of CLANCARTY asked Her
Majesty's Government:
Whether they are aware that in an
interview on France-Inter radio on
21st February 1974 Monsieur Robert
Galley then French Minister of
Defen~e, stated that his Ministry had
set up a section in 195~ to .study eye-
witness accounts of urudenttfied flymg
objects; and whethet .our ~inistry of
Defence also has a section to mvesttgate
these unidentified flying objects.
Lord WINTERBOTTOM: The
Government have no record of a state-
ment made in February 1974 by the then
French Minister of Defence.
Our Ministry of Defence has no specific
organisation engaged on the examination of
reports of unidentified flying objects;
reports are examined by specialist staffs as
part of their normal duties to see if they
contain any implications for the defence of
the United Kingdom. lnvestigatibns into
any scientific significance of phenomena
ROAD SIGNS
Lo DE . CLIFFORD asked Her
Majes 's Government:
Wh information the large yellow
backed road signs exhibiting black
triangles, diamonds, circles and squares
now proli rating in the West Midlands
meant to nvey to the motorist; and
whether the will be included in the new
Highway Co for everyone's informa-
tion.
Baroness STED AN: These new signs
mark routes for t ffic to . follow when
some emergency re uires a section of
motorway to be cl sed. They guide
drivers from the motor ay and back to it
beyond the point of clos e. Because the
signs are at present indivi ally authorised
for each route and have not yet been
prescribed in regulations fo general use,
they are not being include in the new
Highway Code; but they ha e received
press publicity and an explana ry leaflet
has been produced for distri tion to
drivers. I shall be sending the no le Lord
a copy of the leaflet and copies ha been
placed in the Library.
House adjourned ;:tt ten
minutes before eight o'cloc
