The irm had requested a new authorisation at an existing operat

A spokesman for the Trafic Commissioner’s (TC) ofice says the TC has granted an interim direction pending further inquiries, and a decision will be made on whether to grant the substantive application in due course. “If the application is granted, Ward Brothers (Malton) will have to have met all statutory requirements including that covering inancial standing,” he adds.
