ACOMPLAINT has been made to the transport committee of Liverpool Chamber of Commerce that the particulars contained in the invoices of British Road Services are substantially less informative than those of former hauliers. The chairman, Mr. D. S. Inman, said that this matter had been brought to his notice and he had been informed that as yet the Road Haulage Executive had not introduced a uniform system of accounts. The forms that were now being used were those belonging to its constituent companies.
The road transport section of the Chamber has been reorganized. At a recent meeting of the section, Mr. R. B. Stockdale, who presided, commented on the number of members taken over by the British Transport Commission. It was said that, in the past, under free enterprise, each member felt himself free to speak as he wished, but those who were now controlled by the B.T.C. had to consider with care what statements they made. Mr. T. Lawrenson was elected chairman to follow Mr. Stockdale.
The section has decided to ask the Association of British Chambers of Commerce to assist in providing more spares for the home market.
