THE RHA, in a statement on the Government cuts, said: "The substantial reduction the Government is making in the road programme removes the only excuse---in any case not very strong—for new taxes on road transport proposed in the Transport Bill. The Minister of Transport should withdraw these tax proposals immediately.
"The Government has failed to appreciate that the present difficult economic situation could be better helped by an acceleration rather than a cut-back in the road-building programme. Time and again the crucial part played by an expanding road programme has been emphasized from all quarters."
