WHEN the Lords took their first, brief VY look at the Beeching report last week Lord Morrison of Lambeth asked whether the Government was going to pursue a policy of positive and active co-ordination between the various forms of inland transport.
In so far as this did not happen, he said, it meant that there was a wasteful iniation of overlapping between the various systems of inland transport.
Lord Hailsham assured him that Mr. Marplcs would be concerned with both the other forms of transport, passenger and freight, now available to users in this country.
Local authorities, industrial interests, the National Coal Board and other providers of transport, in particular bus and road haulage interests, had been asked to let the Government have their first views as rapidly as possible, added Lord Hailsham. These views would be taken fully into account in assessing the implieations of the plan.
