Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

delivering coal fora local coal merchant and he would support me in applying for a B licence. If I wanted to haul other goods in the same area during slack periods would I have to apply for another licence, and if so, what are my chances of obtaining one?

A When you have assessed how much of

your working week will be involved in coal haulage you should then endeavour to obtain profitable traffic to occupy the spare capacity. This should be included in your application as part of your intention.

When you have applied for your licence you will probably be called to a public inquiry to satisfy the Licensing Authority that you are a fit person to hold a licence and that you are able to meet an existing need. There may be objectors to your application. Prior to your application being heard you could be invited to appear before a Road/ Rail Negotiating Committee. The purpose of this invitation is to endeavour to move objections before the public inquiry. Such a committee has no power to grant or refuse a licence and you need attend only if you so desire.
