Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A LATTERDAY Daniel in the Lioness's den-that was how Mr. J. P. Wells saw himself likened when he spoke at the annual dinner of the Blackburn and District Junior Chamber of Commerce yesterday evening. And he added that his presence would not have been necessary "had you been able to arrange that Blackburn was not represented in the House of Commons by its present Member".

The Member for Blackburn is, of course, Mrs. Castle-and Mr. Wells was responding to an invitation to put the RHA's point of view to some of her constituents.

He set out the drawbacks and dangers of some of Mrs. Castle's licensing proposals and, by contrast, recommended the path of voluntary road-rail co-operation. Such cooperation, he revealed, had already succeeded to the extent that about 30 per cent of all Freightliner tonnage came from professional road operators.

This, he asserted, pointed the way to the solution of the so-called transport problemwhich was really a railway problem.
