Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• In two TV appearances and a meeting with over 100 hauliers in Plymouth on Tuesday the RHA's national chairman, Mr. P. H. R. Turner, highlighted the effects of the Transport Bill and warned that its implications might go beyond the field of road transport. Much traffic now using Plymouth commercial dock was in danger of being diverted to ports nearer London markets if the 100-mile restriction became law.

Mrs. Castle's suggestion that trunk hauliers would soon find short-distance work was not applicable to the South West, he said.

After the meeting, hauliers told CM's lain Sherriff that they hoped the Minister's fellow-members for isolated constituencies would realize the dangers and press for amendments to quantity licensing plans.
