Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Two associated haulage companies —Bowen Haulage Ltd and W. W. Evans Ltd, of Sutton Place, London E9—its two directors and 10 of its drivers were remanded to appear at the Central Criminal Court from Old Street magistrates' court on Tuesday.

All are charged on five counts, including forgery, conspiracy and perjury relating to the contravention of drivers' hours and records and hours of rest regulations as laid down in the 1960 Road Traffic Act. The remand, under Section 1 of the Criminal Justices Act 1967, meant that no pleas were entered by the accused.

The two directors, Mr H. J. Skinner and Mr J. W. Barker, were remanded on bail in their own recognizances of £500 with one surety each of £500. The drivers were all remanded on bail in their own recognizances of £100 each.

• Commercial Motor's 1970 Fleet Management Conference at the London Hilton on September 17 will be opened by the director-general of the Confederation of British Industry, Mr W. 0. Campbell Adamson, who took up this post in October last year. He was formerly deputy Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Economic Affairs, having risen to become industrial policy co-ordinator shortly after secondment to the DEA from• Richard Thomas and Baldwins, the steel manufacturers.

Noted as an able and forthright speaker, Mr Campbell Adamson demonstrated his grasp of the industrial transport scene when he spoke impressively at the Road Haulage Association's South Wales annual dinner earlier this year.

The CBI director-general is a Cambridge honours graduate in economics, and has spent most of his working life in the steel industry, in management and industrial relations posts. From 1959 to 1965 he was responsible for the great new Spencer integrated steel plant at Llanwern.

He serves, or has served, on many public bodies, and has been chairman of the management and industrial relations committee of the Social Science Research Council from its inception. He lists "arguing" among his pastimes.
