• A mass meeting of Tees-side hauliers under the chairmanship of Mr. Joe Williamson last week decided unanimously to rally all opposition to the Transport Bill as it deprived their customers of freedom of choice, inflated costs and would he detrimental to their own Development Area.
After five big companies had detailed their increased operating costs, supported by the general experience of other operators, it was decided that substantial rates increases must be sought at once.
North East trade and employers' associations are meanwhile trying to organize a conference to focus objections to the Bill.
In Glasgow on Wednesday the TRTA's director, Mr. H. R. Featherstone, said industrialists would be deterred by the Bill from taking industry to Scotland. And the 100-mile limit would not only create two standards of service—road up to 100 miles with maximum flexibility and more rigid rail service over 100 miles—but this would hit Scotland particularly hard because of its dependence on English markets.
