By Major .1. B. Elliott Chairman, Motor Hirers and Coach Services Association
ON many occasions I have, at gatherings of operators, expressed my views on the Road Traffic Act, and I can add little to what has already been said, except to draw attention to the pictures of restriction conveyed by the published annual reports of various operating companies. These .,,partially illustrate the drastic effects of the curtailment of services and facilities upon operators' businesses.
Whilst some measure of control of road transport is necessary, the everincreasing regulations will eventually strangle the industry. Capital and labour will suffer equally. The railways will lose traffic as the result of increased unemployment, and so on
ad infinitum. Those are my own personal views (not necessarily those ot the M.H.C.S.A.), but let me hope that I am mistaken.
Quoting from the title of the new regulations made in respect of goods transport under the Road and Rail Traffic Act, what is the significance ef the three words, "licences and prohibitions"?
