Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Plans for a radical revamp of the Operator Licensing system in Northern Ireland have been put on hold A consultation paper was released by the Department of the Environment more than a year ago proposing a move towards continuous 0-licensing Other planned changes included a shift from three to five-year hire-and-reward licences.

But the proposals have been shelved because of the current shake-up of the 0-licensing regime in England and Wales.

A Department of Environment spokeswofnan says: "We are holding fire and our timing really depends on what they decide to do on the mainland."

Continuous 0-licensing, where companies buy permits for life, is also under consideration.

Driver and Vehicle Licensing Northern Ireland will be set up next week in the province as an executive agency of the DoE.
