HOSE who continued to neglect the I records regulations would, in the long run, pay dearly for their omissions, said Mr.' J. H. Turner, president of the London and Home Counties Haulage Contractors Association, in presenting' his report to the annual general meeting, on Tuesday. The " faking " of records was, he said, still far too prevalent, Every operator should personally satisfy himself that his drivers' records were in order, Mr. Turner hinted that the Minister of Transport's decision not to increase the maximum legal rear-axle weight to 9 tons was being reconsidered.
The speaker went on to say that little had been done during the past year in the co-ordination of transport by the appropriate sub-committee of the Transport Advisory Council. He thought that the matter would assume greater prominence this year. The council of the Association fully sup ported the eventual introduction. of a sound scheme of co-ordination, providing for the economic division of traffic between road and rail.
It was most reassuring to know that the Road Traffic Bill, 1937 (seeking, among other things, to extend the period of validity of A licences to five years), had the support of the Government, said Mr. Turner. Captain Hudson, Parliamentary Secretary, to the Ministry of Transport, had, the president added, expressed the Government's belief that the experimental period in the licensing of carriers might be assumed to have ended.
Mr. Turner hoped that control over the wages paid by C-licensees would be introduced.
Smithfield Meat Carriers' Section of the Association, the report continued, was to deal with delays at wharves and in the markets, and the abatement of uneconomic competition.
