• Sir Alfred McAlpine and Son Ltd. advertised last week for tipping lorries to be engaged on motorway contracts in Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cumberland.
The work was described as long term with prompt payment and licences were stated to be available.
When CM contacted the contractor at Billinger we were told that the work would last for 18 months. The licences available were C-hiring, said the contractor's representative, who added: "We would require to hold your cards".
A Ministry of Transport spokesman for the Yorkshire traffic area told CM that in many cases the vehicles used on this work were owned by the wives of the men who drove them. The vehicles were loaned to the main contractor who then employed the driver.
