Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• The Transport Association is to approach the Department of the Environment shortly about a revised form of goods vehicle licensing. This would be based upon gross vehicle weight instead of plated, unladen weight as at present.

The TA, which decided to make the approach at its bi-monthly meeting in London on Tuesday, wants to avoid the complicated — and costly — plating and weighing process currently employed. This is the s'econd time that it has proposed basing goods vehicle licensing on gross, rather than unladen, weights.

The Association elected a new member on Tuesday — a 40-vehicle haulier, L. J. Nickolls Ltd, of Folkestone. There are now more than 80 members in the TA.
