TRANSPORT IN BRITAIN
INVESTIGATION PROPOSED. (British Official Wireless.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, March 9. The competition between road and rail transport was referred to by the Minister of Transport, Mr P. J. Pybus, at the Commercial Motor Users’ Association luncheon. He said there was a general feeling that the heavy goods traffic situation called for some definite policy by the Government. He believed that if the problem were approached in a co-operative spirit the differences could be narrowed down. He proposed to call a conference of railway and road transport representatives, and to suggest to them that, they should appoint a group of five to seven people with an impartial chairman to report their considered views on the proper functions of railway and road. AMALGAMATION IN N.S.W. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Sydney, March 10. The Legislative Assembly, after an all night sitting, passed the Transport Bill amalgamating all the State transport authorities.
