T.A.C. Report
THE Transport Advisory Council's recommendation that a Road Rates Tribunal for the whole country, with Area Rates Committees, should be set up within the road-transport industry has been hailed with satisfaction in
Yorkshire. This satisfaction is due not merely to the intrinsic significance of the recommendation but to the fact –that it brings extremely powerful support to the efforts which Yorkshire hauliers have been making for years in the direction of rates stabilization.
As a result of the efforts made, Yorkshire already has the area organization —or, at any rate, the basis of it—the setting up of which is advocated by the T.A.C. The employers' panel of the Yorkshire Joint Conciliation Board has a committee and a sub-committee which were specifically created to deal with rates stabilization, Practically • all the organizations representative of hauliers in the area have linked up with the panel's rates activities.
A mass of information has been sifted, a basis of rates calculation has been worked out, and the panel's committees are still engaged on the colossal task of classifying for rates purposes the vast number of articles carried by road. Behind all these area efforts in Yorkshire has been the ultimate aim of securing national stabilization.
