• When Mr G. K. Newman, the director-general of the Road Haulage Association. addressed the London area if the Transport Managers Club last week, le was told by members that they did not want the club to have official status in the :yes of the Ministry of Transport. Mr ,iewman had stated earlier that he felt the ime had come for the TMC to be regarded n the same way as professional societies were.

He remarked that the club had not been represented on the Transport Managers Icence Committee. On this he was :hallenged by Mr J. S. Scriven who :ontended that members had enjoyed full .epresentation through the respective tssociations and institutions to which they xIonged. MI' G. A. Miles argued that the FMC's function was to provide a social ttmosphere for the members wherein )usiness considerations would be of lecondary importance.

When asked about the likely introduction late for transport managers' licences, Mr sTewman said that he did not think that the Vinister was in any hurry with this part of he legislation. His estimate was that it would come between 12 and 18 months &ter Operators' licensing had been in force.
