F URTHER discussion—especially within the R.H.A. itself, including the area I organizations—is needed before a decision can be given on the plan for a new national negotiating committee to deal with nay claims and other labour relations matters in the haulage industry. That was the final opinion reached at last week's meeting of the Road Haulage Association national council, which had been expected to set the seal of approval on a scheme that, at least in principle, has already been agreed to by the transport unions, and which effect would be to make the existing Wages Council almost a rubberstamp body.
There was a long discussion on the proposals at last week's meeting, which showed that differing views were held.
Also discussed was an approach to the Chancellor—probably jointly with the T.R.T.A.—on the vexed question of high fuel tax.
