Abstract
THE Fifteenth Report of the Select Committee on National Expenditure demonstrates the vital importance of transport to the war effort of Great Britain. That bad transport is one of the main causes of absenteeism and lost time in production has been emphasized from time to time in the Select Committee's earlier reports, and the evidence received during the last six months led the Committee to make a special investigation into this problem from the side of the Ministry of War Transport and the transport undertakings. While this aspect of the problem is fairly generally appreciated, it is intimately if not inseparably linked with that of passenger transport generally, and the full extent of the repercussions of the rubber and petrol situation are very far from being realized by the general public.
