Clause 2 of the act makes provision to increase the notice period for increasing tariffs from 20 days to 30 days. I assume that when you reach an understanding on cost with your customers you build the freight rates into your cost price. It's true that 20 days to 30 days is a 50% increase, but 30 days is, in my opinion, not an awful lot when you have to consider that when you're doing your price structures it may be six months in advance of the cost to your consumers. Do you have any comments? Is this adequate for your purposes? Would you like to see more of a notice period?
