Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A SCOTTISH haulier has been reluctantly granted a three-truck licence; but refused the return of an illegally operated truck, impounded in February.

Barrhead-based S&V Supplies (Scotland) was told by Scottish Traffic Commissioner Joan Aitken that she granted the licence with -considerable hesitation", and warned the company not to start operating again until it received the discs and licence. The company's directors. Stan ley Frazher and his son Paul,had applied for a licence for six trucks.

On 12 February, police stopped an S&V vehicle carrying cardboard and found its 0-licence disc had expired in October 2002.The truck was impounded.

Then in April, a vehicle registered to Recycled Packaging (Scotland) was stopped for not displaying an 0-licence disc. Stanley Frazher is listed as a director of the company.

Another company called Reliable Recycling, of which both Frazhers were directors, had a truck impounded last year, which was later returned.

Stanley Frazher said he had passed a cheque for payment of the 0-licence fees to his office manager last September, and he believed they had a licence. However, the TC said Stanley Frazher could have been in little doubt what the fee-request letter meant.
