Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

by a political correspondent THERE will :be no lack of advice to the Government at this year's Labour Party Conference in Blackpool during September. Ten resolutions have so far been submitted, in which the total nationalisation and 'Integration of all forms of trans.. port is called for urgently.

The NUR calls for the discouragement of long-distance haulage of freight by road and its transfer to the railways. The Transport Salaried Staffs Association wants a National Trans port Board, with executive control over railways, shipping, road haulage and passenger and parcels services.

An "integrated transport system" is a common call from constituency Labour parties together with the need to transfer more goods from road to rail. Others urge the investigation of methods of introducing completely free public transport services and extending existing systems of concessionary fares for the elderly, blind and disabled.
