By G. C. Harvey,
IVESTOCK is an excluded traffic not subject to the 25-mile limit imposed by the Transport Act, 1947. There are two distinct stages in its transport. The animals are collected from the farms and taken to the collecting centre or market. Arrangements for this operation are made between the farmer and the haulier.
Transport from collecting centre to slaughter house is arranged by the collecting-centre foreman nominated by the Meat Transport Organization, Ltd., which pay the haulier according to an agreed scale of charges.
The M.T.01. have been operating under a contract with the Ministry of Food, which also provides for the transport of meat after the animal has been slaughtered. Even if the contract with the Ministry is ultimately terminated, it is likely that the work of the M.T.O.L. will continue in a modified form.
Important proposals have been made by the farmers for the future marketing of fat stock. One avowed 11/2.
