Select Committee on Environment, Transport and Regional Affairs Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence


Supplementary memorandum by the Freight Transport Association (RH 26A)

THE ROAD HAULAGE INDUSTRY

  Herewith the following additional information requested.

    (1)  A paper on "flagging out".

    (2)  Details of some companies that have downsized or become bankrupt.

    (3)  Details of the cost implications regarding the Working Time Directive.

  Missing is the relevant information regarding pay rates for eastern European drivers. Rather than provide the Committee with anecdotal information we are surveying other trade associations for information. I will provide you with the results of that work as soon as possible but if you need something more immediately then please do not hesitate to call me.
