'THE Government's Transport Bill will be presented to Parliarrient rn early July. This information has been gained from an authoritative source.
Speculation continues about how far the Bill's measures will align with the White Paper's proposals inview of Mr. Churchill's statement that this publication was a guide. rather than a rule. Attacks upon the road haulage levy-are known to have caused concern in the Government.
Consultations between the Ministry of Transport and the Road Haulage Association are likely to continue until the Bill is finally drafted. The restoration of permits and the. early lifting of the 25-mile limit were Matters raised at meetings held last week.
The executive committee of the R.11.A. meets on June 25. This will be the first gathering of the newly constituted body.
