AN application, for a li-ton vehicle on B licence, restricted to the carriage of goods for members of the Indian and Pakistani community, particularly in Bradford, was made last week to Mr. J. H. E. Randolph, Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority, by Mr. S. D. Malik, Bradford.
The applicant stated that 95 per cent, of the members of that community could not speak English properly, and had difficulty when seeking transport to move their household goods from one part of the country to another.
He told of an Indian being driven from London Airport to Bradford, at a cost of £30, when he required transport only to the station in London. One supporting witness stated that if neces
n8
sary the court could have been filled with witnesses.
Mr. Malik told Mr. Randolph that the most useful work he could perform would not be within the Bradford locality because people were coming from Sheffield, Manchester and Birmingham. They were also moving from London to the north, as far as Glasgow. Objecting, on behalf of British Railways, Mr: C. H. Beaumont said that it Was an application based on an unusual principle. The licensing law did not provide for the limiting of a B licence on a principle of apartheid. He submitted that as the applicant admitted that railway facilities were available, !there was no case to answer.
The 'application was refused, but Mr. Malik indicated his intention to appeal.
