Watkinson, Minister of Transport, at the anniversary luncheon of the Institute of Transport in London on Tuesday. He added that the moves made were only a beginning, but the whole lifeblood of transport and Britain's economic future were involved in the present position, for no section of the economy was more important than transport, which meant movement and progress, compared with stagnation.
