"What the TUC does riot seem to have considered,says the RHA, "is that the 'efficiency, flexibility and door to door capability of the road transport oper ator, which it acknowledges, may be the other side of the coin of the 'fragmented industry' which it deplores. If, as the TUC suggests, the fragmentation makes it difficult to fit the industry into a tidy administrative plan for transport integration or nationalization, the fault may lie with the plan. This is surely one lesson that the TUC should have learned from the disastrous experiment in transport nationalization in the years following the war_
`There is already a formidable body of legislation covering all these points. It is certainly -unnecessary, in order to carry out the policy, to set up the kind of monolithic monster envisaged in the TUC document.''
