The Road Transport Industry Training Board was the sixteenth to be established — a middle generation Board which, coming into being three years ago in September, 1968, has now about two years of operational activity behind it. The Board includes in its scope the Motor Vehicle Retail and Repair Industry (garages), the Road Hauliers (lorries) and the Passenger Industry (buses), together with Furniture Removal, Warehousing, Cold Storage and more recently Vehicle Body Repair, and the Agricultural Machinery Distributors and Repairers. This grouping of activities has resulted in a large Board, the 27 members of which are drawn equally from employers, the trade unions and education.
