.`RE careful of your responsibility as a licence' holder", said Mr. C. J. Macdonald, Metropolitan deputy Licensing Authority, in

London last week when he granted the substitution of an A-licensed vehicle from Mr. S. G. Page to Mr. J. A. Payne, proprietor of Acorn Motors Transport, of Hanworth.

For the applicant, Miss D. Havers explained that Mr. Payne had paid £1,000 for the vehicle and goodwill in June 1966 although he had been operating the vehicle since the beginning of that year. The case had come before the LA in September but due to poor advice the application had had to be withdrawn.

Earnings of the vehicle were submitted in relation to the two customers who had and would continue employing the vehicle.

At the same hearing, Acorn Motors Transport were granted a short-term B licence to carry special computer consignments for BOAC from Heathrow Airport to IBM's warehouse at Park Royal.

A special request for the minimum of transhipment had been made by the consigner for this £2m. computer and special arrangements had been made with Customs so that if the licence were granted the consignments could be taken from the apron, through Customs, to IBM's warehouse.
