SUM, trim and fighting fit. That is how the Transport Minister, Mr. Tom Fraser, would obviously like the nationalized road haulage sector to be once Labour gets down to brass tacks, writes our Political Correspondent.
Speaking at Woolwich last week-end, Mr. Fraser told a meeting that there could be no return to the policies of 1947. "We lost a lot of good taxpayers' money last time for lorries and depots that were immediately scrapped. We must not do that sort of thing again he said. "We must bring into the publicly owned haulage industry only those units of road haulage which are essential."
The latest doctrine laid down by Mr. Wilson thus got another airing. But Mr. Fraser did not elaborate on methods in his speech, and he is not expected to, in public at any rate, for some while yet.
