" I HAVE no reason to believe that
we shall in any way depart from what was said in our manifesto with regard to the transport industry, and we may proceed further," said Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller, Q.C., the SolicitorGeneral, at the annual luncheon of the East' Midland Area of the Traders' Road Transport Association, in Notting ham, last week.
Referring to the proposed increase in railway fares, he said it surely could not be right to inflict great burdens on the holders of workmen's, shift workers' and season tickets and, at the same time, reduce ordinary fares without any consultation with the Government.
Mr. S. C. Bond, area chairman, who presided, said that the denationalization of transport should not be dictated by politics. An ill-prepared plan introduced for political reasons .might be as harmful as nationalization itself to the national economy.
["The Sunday Times" stated unequivocally, last Sunday, that the Government was to return all State-owned road haulage to private enterprise, subject to safeguards for the railways.]
