• At a Section 178 inquiry at Acton on Wednesday the Metropolitan LA, Mr. D. I. JR. Muir, granted an adjournment to a date to be fixed so that Mr. Menlinick, a director of the company concerned. J.R.M. Plant Ltd. of Harlow, could challenge the MoT examiner who had served 10 prohibition notices, five of them immediate, on the company's vehicles.
He said he wished to challenge the examiner's statements concerning the company's premises and vehicle maintenance.
Commenting on the report that one of the firm's tippers had insecure front wings, a split and insecure front bumper, missing reflectors and no number plate light, Mr. Menlinick said: "I don't think there is a lot of work to be done on this lorry: He added that much of what the examiner had said could be true about any tipper the LA cared to stop.
"I certainly hope yOu are not right about that", said Mr. Muir.
