Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Chaos and stupidity were two words used last week by a well-known and respected transport union official in referring to the Transport Bill, writes a special correspondent.

The outspoken union man was Jack Wood, North Western trade group secretary representing 18,000 transport men. He said: "While we are 100 per cent behind a properly co-ordinated transport service, we see nothing in the present Government's attitude that would not bring utter and complete economic chaos to the transport industry. The deliberate intention to bolster up a railway system that does not seem able to cope with the present demand, to the detriment of the road haulage industry, is absolutely stupid."
