1F an operator sold his business, he should not be called Upon publicly to reveal the sum which he received for it, said Mr. A. Watkinson, referring to Section .11 (3) (b) of the 1933 Act, at the 'annual general meeting, last week, of subscribers to the goodsvehicle-licensing Scheine of the C.M.U.A. Manchester area. The annual report to subscribers was Summarized in The Commercial Motor last week.
Mr. H. H. LapsleY, secretary, remarked that Section 11 (3) (b) would become of paramount importance. The sale of a _business was a private' matter, but the Western Licensing Authority had taken the initiative in publishing ;details. "We are going to appeal in the Bristol case," he said, " as every other Authority in the co ntry is now starting to publish detail of applica
tions." (It is understo• that the

Bristol case relates to Ex-Army Transport, Ltd.) .Membership of the scheme was stated to be made up as follows :—A-licensees, 294 operators owning 1,313 vehicles; B-licensees, 151 and 313 respectively; C-licensees, 39 and 410 respectively.
