nEMANDS for restrictions on opera tions by farmers for hire or reward were considered on Wednesday at a meeting of the national licensing committee of the Road Haulage Association. The attitude to be adopted by the Association on this subject is being considered on broad lines.
A proposal from the West Midland Area that the law should be modified to give hauliers greater freedom was also before the committee. It was proposed that Section 9(4) of the Transport Act, 1953, should be repealed. Contract-A licences and evidence given before Licensing Authorities were other subjects on the agenda.
The committee were to decide whether to recommend an appeal against the Eastern Licensing Authority's grant of 33 vehicles and 12 trailers at the Bedford base of British Road Services.
' The public relations committee yesterday considered ways of running a further advertising campaign. At the Association's annual conference last year it was recommended that advertising should be continued this Year in trade journals, but the public relations committee had before them a resolution that advertising should in future be conducted in local newspapers.
The international hauliers' committee, who also met yesterday, received a report of a meeting of the hauliers' section of the International Road Transport Union, held in Cologne on Monday and attended by Mr. J. Murly, chairman of the R.H.A. committee, and Mr. D. I,e Conte, secretary.
