I am satisfied that the most appropriate way to deal with the study of inland transport functions at present in progress is through a small inter-departmental group which will obtain the views of interested parties. The bodies which have been invited to make submissions to the group include the County Councils' General Council, the Association of Municipal Authorities, the County and City Managers' Association and the County and City Engineers' Association.
