Miniature UNDER the direction of a Standing Conference' of the British Transport Commissidn, presided over by Sir Cyril Hurcomb, the.' "possibilities of :integration in a representative area" are being carefolly studied. General principles on' which integration of goods services between road and rail can best proceed are being worked out, "I hope that -before long it May be possible to issue a meniarandum, for the guidance of all concerned, as to the line on"which definite action should proceed in the immediate future," said Sir Cyril Hurcomb, in an address last week to the Institute of Public Administration.
.Although blind amalgamation of all passenger and goods road fleets for maintenance purposes would not be sensible, the B.T.C. would take full advantage of opportunities for ". unified arrangements as to the provision and maintenance of goods vehicles in particular," said-Sir Cyril.
The B.T.C. must, by suitable stages, reach a point where the transport of geods by road, in which :the Railway Executive was at present engaged on a large scale,. passed in general into the control of the Road Haulage Executive. Many practical ccinsiderations made gradualness in this process inevitable
'Sir Cyril said that nearly 400 professional accountants were investigating 'accounts in connection with settlements for the 2,500 road haulage'husinesses acquired.
The first issue of British Transport Review," Which is to be published three limes a year by the B.T.C.,has just appeared. It costs Is. and contains a -number of articles on the Commission's work, including' one by Major-General G. N. Russell, chairman of the Road Haulage Executive.:Another,. by Charles B. Clapham and Eric F. Horobin, describes the northern area
scheme, The book is for circulation only to the staff.
