While the Grand National was in progress last Saturday at Aintree, over at Newmarket hundreds of lorry drivers gathered to hear Mr. Peter Walker, Shadow Transport Minister, describe the obstacles of the Transport Bill.
The men had paraded their vehicles around Cambridge in the morning and after lunch held an open air rally.
The Tory spokesman told the men that his Party would not reverse the entire content of the Bill. However, he said that the question of drivers hours would require to be examined in some detail. The proposal to switch traffic to rail was raised and the consequent loss of earnings by long-distance drivers explained.
Mr. Walker told one questioner that he was not opposed to the principle of tachographs but he did not consider that they should be obligatory. This was a matter to be resolved by employer and employee.
The next mass rally takes place next Sunday (April 71 from Speakers Corner, Hyde Park, at 2.30 p.m., when 60 vehicles will converge on 10 Downing Street.
The main speaker at Sunday's London rally will be Mr: Peter Walker and the route taken by the procession of vehicles will be Park Lane, Piccadilly, Haymarket, Pall Mall East, Trafalgar Square and Whitehall, arriving at Downing Street about 445 p.m.
Representatives of the RHA, PVOA, MM and Young Conservatives will present an anti-Transport Bill petition, with 100,000 signatures, to the Prime Minister.
