Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• The Minister has dismissed the appeal lodged by Valliant Cronshaw Ltd. against the decision of the Metropolitan Traffic Commissioner, granting to Evan Evans Tours Ltd. a variation of the conditions attached to a road service licence for excursions and tours starting from London.

The tour whose grant was objected to was entitled "Rothschilds and the Regency Rakes (Waddesdon Manor and Hell Fire Caves)". While the evidence given of the need for or desirability of the proposed tour was not strong, the Minister considered that it sufficed in the circumstances of the application which was designed to improve the range of tours offered to a predominantly overseas clientele.

The Minister noted that the respon

dent's tour differed substantially from that already licensed to the appellant. It was a fully inclusive day tour costing three guineas and taking in Hell Fire Caves as compared with a half-day tour to Waddesdon Manor only and costing about 17s.

There was, she thought, no substantial risk of abstraction from the appellant.
