Joseph, Director of Transport 2000, that "transport costs are marginal for most businesses" (CM 3-9 November) is extraordinary. In 1987 users' expenditure on road freight transport amounted to 227.2 billion. A reduction of just a couple of per cent in transport costs could save British industry 21 billion a year. I do not consider that marginal, nor I suspect would most businesses. Richard Diment, Deputy director, BRF, Cowdray House, London WC2.
