Recommendation
In other policy areas, where the Government has run out of patience with inertia, it has threatened industry with actions which would be taken if the industry does not find its own solution. Similar examples can be found in measures brought in to reduce sugar content in soft drinks and the use of packaging which cannot be recycled. The Government should mirror this approach in the logistics sector.
