• In a report in CM on February 13, page 34, it was stated that Mr. A. C. J. Grieves, representing objectors to an application by City Coach Lines Ltd., had agreed to accept, during a transitional period, a situation in which the deputy Traffic Commissioner held the sitting alone.
We have been asked to state that this was no so. Mr. Grieves questioned the right of the deputy Traffic Commissioner to hold the sitting, as under the Transport (London) Act of 1969, he claimed, not fewer than two commissioners were required at a sitting, and in view of the changes which that Act makes he submitted that it was only the Traffic Commissioner who could in the interim sit alone pending the appointment of the panel commissioners. Mr. Grieves expressly reserved this point, and was not to be taken as accepting the position on behalf of his clients, even though he continued to take part in the public sitting.
