Mr. Weetch
asked the Minister of Transport what proportion of industrial costs is accounted for by transport.
Mr. Fowler
Inland freight transport costs are about 5 per cent. of industrial costs. This is an average and the proportion varies widely between different industries. The figure does not include the cost of personal travel in the course of work or the cost of shipping and air freight services.
