.1-1, A SERIES of questions about the
number of A licences for carrying bulk liquids received short, and uninformative, answers when they were put to Mr. Marples in the House of Commons this week. Mr. Hugh Delargy (Lab., Thurrock) wanted to know how many firms held six or less A licences to carry these liquids and was told that the information could not be made available without a wholly disproportionate amount of work.
As for the other questions, Mr. Marples said he had asked the Licensing Authorities to let him have the information sought by Mr. Delargy and this would be sent on to the M.P. Mr. Delargy had asked how many applications for A licences were referred to public inquiries by Licensing Authorities during the past 12 months and who were the applicants and objectors in each case. He then wanted to know how many applications referred to these inquiries had been granted and how many refused and also how many licences were given without a public inquiry and to whom.
