Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

-IAT DO MOST people really ik about road transport? Are ir views fairly represented by : ranting enemies of the lorry? The National Freight Corpo ration, in its submission to the Armitage Inquiry into lorries, people and the environment, suggests that more objective evidence on these questions is needed. "The scale of the environmental problem may be much smaller than is alleged by the vociferous anti-lorry lobby," he adds.

I am not a gambling man and I would. not put money on the outcome of such a survey. Those who live on lorry routes are implacably and understandably hostile, as are many otherwise intelligent people who cannot see beyond the tailboard of the lorry in front. The beavers might unearth things better hidden. It is unwise to light the blue touch paper if one cannot retire immediately.
