I N a New Year message to hauliers, Mr. Harold Watkinson, Minister of Trans. port, wishes them success in their campaign to inform the public of their case against renationalization. He says that in recent weeks the Socialists seem to have moved further in the direction of controlling all forms of free-enterprise road transport whether operated under A, B or C licence,
" So the choice before the country in due course is quite plain," he says. "The Conservative Government wishes to leave a free choice to the consumers in its transport policy. The ,Socialist Opposition wishes the State to choose what type of transport shall be available to the consumer. Whatever choice is made, it is clearly in the national interest that it should he made on the facts of the case."
