Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

AWORKING party is to be set up to examine the public image of the road transport industry and w:11 include representatives of the Road Haulage Association, British Road Services companies and, it is hoped, the Traders Road Transport Association.

This was reported by Mr. G. K. Newman. secretary-general of the R.H.A., speaking at the annual dinner of the Association's Newton Abbot and Torbay sub-area last week. It was important, Mr. Newman said, that every operator and every driver should make a special point of ensuring that so far as he was concerned there was nothing with which the public could reproach him.

"It is perhaps not enough for us to take vigorous action ", continued Mr. Newman. We must also make sure that the public understand our problems and what we are doing to solve them. It is for this reason that the Association has proposed the setting up of a working party. Our contract members, the British Road Services companies, have already agreed to be represented.

" Let us make it clear from the start that the working party is not being asked 10 do a job of whitewashing. All it seeks to do is make sure that the public is given a fair impression of the industry. It is no to the industry to make sure that the impression is good and well-deserved."
