'THE final stage of transfer from I special-A to A licences held by McKelvie arid Co. (B.M. and P.), Ltd., Barrhead, was reached at Glasgow last week. Mr. W. F. Quin, Scottish Licensing Authority, was told that the two semitrailers of 48 tons, for which, a normal user " metal and metal finished products in Great Britain" was sought, had been inadvertently omitted from an earlier application. The object was to bring -the units into line with the remainder of the fleet, it was stated. Mr. James McKelvie, a director, said that they had been assigned to the Paisley base, from the associate company in Manchester, in March, 1959. The.units, which had been used for special loads, would do the same work and serve the same customers in future. For the objectors, Gavin . Wilkie, Ltd., :Glasgow, and R. Wynnand Sons, Ltd., _Cardiff, Mr. R. Mackenzie questioned the figures submitted, Mr. Wilkinson. for the British Transport Commission, queried the trend of development by
McKelvie. •
In answer to his suggestion that they were increasingly adding to their lowloader work and to.their area of .service, Mr. McKelvie said, although that was an increasing part of their business, they were not changing to low-loader work.
They had maintained and expanded business other than on low-loaders.
Mr. Wilkinson also suggested that most of the former McKelvie licences had been for metal and metal finished produCts in Scotland, with only limited activity into England, but Mr. McKelvie pointed out that the Motherwell base had considerable scope on their licences for "Great Britain " traffic. Mr. Quin pointed out that there seemed to be a major volume of work for these vehicles in Scotland and northern England. The normal user, as declared, was rather wide, he. thought, and, he offered the normal user as " metal and metal finished products in Sccitland, north and Midlands of England."
_ ,
This would lea* the company free to make periodic journeys to the south of England, subject to .prior approval, he said. On the understanding that adjustment could be made when a special claim was,advanced, Mr. McKelvie
accepted this normal user. .
