ni3SERVATIONS on the Geddes Committee
Report on Carriers' Licensing have recently been issued by the National Association of Furniture Warehousemen and Removers and circularized to MPs and all major political parties. Although issued prior to the announcement of the date of the General Election the Association has taken this step on its own initiative in the belief that such action was both timely and necessary.
The Association states that it finds no evidence
that the Geddes Committee has, at any time, taken note of the special situation of the furniture warehousing and removing industry as did apply at the time of the Transport Act, 1947.
Measures proposed by the report, it is claimed, could hardly fail to exert a "deleterious influence" on the industry's training programme. The Association re-affirms its belief that the successive Road Traffic Acts have proved beneficial in controlling but not eliminating competition in the road transport industry.
