• The national council of the Industrial Transport Association is to recommend to an extraordinary general meeting of the ITA the acceptance of the proposal to merge with the Chartered Institute of Transport (CM February 11). Ratification will be sought in Birmingham on April 15. The CIT ratified the proposals at a council meeting on March 13.
The proposals result from joint discussions which have been taking place• since 1968 and will mean that the title Industrial Transport Association will cease to exist. The activities of the ITA will, however, continue in the form of physical distribution study groups within the CIT. Existing ITA divisions will merge with the nearest CIT divisions. In Scotland this will mean that ITA's Forth and Glasgow divisions will form part of the Scottish section of CIT and Birmingham and Wolverhampton divisions will become part of the Midland division. It is understood that in bath these areas two physical distribution groups will operate.
The merger also means that ITA members who reside at some distance from their existing ITA divisional meeting place will have the facility of a more convenient CIT venue. The CIT has six more divisions than the ITA in England; these are Berks, Bucks and Oxon; Southern; South Western;
