Mr. J. R. C. Samuel-Gibbon, for the company, said they wished to use the lorries for transporting road-making materials and bricks within a radius of 100 miles and to carry machine tool equipment for William Asquith and Sons. Ltd., within a radius of 250 miles.

The Authority suggested that there Might be a case for replacing one of Forrestcr's smaller vehicles with one of a larger capacity.

Mr. Samuel-Gibbon said that at the public inquiry strong evidence had been called showing that there was a demand for more carrying capacity in the area.

The chairman of the Tribunal, Sir Hubert Hull, said that the Tribunal agreed a case had been made out for the addition of one vehicle, but not for two.
