Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

iF the Road Haulage and Railway lExecutives wished to encourage companies to stay open on Saturdays in receive goods, they must ensure that consignments were delivered on time, Mr. Gilbert Harvey told Walsall Chamber of Commerce, last week.

He cited an instance in which the R.H.E. agreed to take a 7-ton load from his company on a Friday on condition that the customer in London kept open his works on the Saturday to receive it. The customer agreed, but the load did not arrive.

"We want co-operation from both the Road Haulage and Railway Executives if they expect co-operation from us," Mr. Harvey declared. Commenting on proposals to transfer goods consigned for rail to road transport in emergencies, he said that with his experience of road delays, he questioned whether the R.H.E. would be of much help.
