7" HE Road Transport Section of _I Liverpool Chamber of Commerce has expressed concern over the use of forged A licences, and the increasing use of vehicles carrying goods for which they were not licensed. It was felt that as forged A licences were being printed on the same type of paper used for the printing of official licences, steps should be taken by the authorities to change the form of licence to make it more easily identifiable.
The section's attention has also been drawn to the growth of wellplanned thefts of vehicles and loads of copper, whisky, cigarettes and groceries. Members were told that some insurance companies were refusing to accept cover for loads of whisky and cigarettes in particular.
It was felt that the time had come when more severe penalties were required, and that the maxinzutn penalty should be increased and imposed by the courts.
