ACTIVE work in promoting security in transport is being carried on by the Road Haulage Association under a blanket of secrecy, A committee to investigate the matter has been set up, but the names of the members have not been divulged. Even the number of members remains a secret.
Two meetings have so far taken place. Mr. N. T. O'Reilly, one of the four national vice-chairmen of the Association, is understood to have presided at the second meeting, held recently. The committee are believed to cover the interests of much of the membership.
So far, they have been discussing the facts and figures concerning thefts of vehicles and their loads. They are obtaining information on methods of stealing and on the places where thieving is most rife.
Details are being collated of devices for immobilizing vehicles and to give warning when engines or doors are tampered with.
It is expected that the Association will periodically issue advice to members on
security methods. c23
