George Wilmot is perfectly capable of replying to suggestions that he is "ignorant-, "ill informedand ''has a short memoryas suggested by the assistant national secretary of the National Guild of Transport Managers (CM January 12 letters) but as he is in Brussels dealing with the very subject on which he is alleged to be so ill informed and may not see the letter in time to reply in next week's issue, I feel it is reasonable to draw attention to two points.
The first is that my council has, over the past four years, elected Mr Wilmot as our representative on the Transport Managers' Licence Committee now streamlined and doing a useful job as the Education Coordinating Committee. Furthermore, the representatives of CIT. FTA, RHA, and IOTA. consider that he is sufficiently well informed to be chairman of this committee.
Secondly, while everyone must be pleased that any organization is "growing daily" their supporters should also be able to see that the organization they join is deserving their support. A public personal attack in vague terms which also infers that members of the IRTE councils cannot select a good representative and that a responsible cornmittee cannot elect a suitable chairman is neither responsible nor serving any useful national purpose. It certainly lacks dignity and manners.
CM readers and members of all the bodies concerned will be more than capable of drawing their own conclusions from this correspondence.
