E North Western deputy licensing estithority, Mr. A. H. Jolliffe, was that he had not been given the mation or the help to which-he was ed, when considering an application Liverpool last Wednesday. Mr. . C. Samuel-Gibbon, made these nents as he objected on behalf of
n and Son (St. Helens) Ltd. to a heard application by A. S. Jones and -Ad.
tially the applicant had asked for multi-purpose vehicles with tanks beneath the platform (The Pnercial Motor, July 26) but this had been amended to three units to mainly bulk liquids on outward ieys.
ntinuing, Mr. Samuel-Gibbon said at the outset Jones had wanted the lea to carry general goods for its associated companies, which all belonged to the Coast Lines Group. As these companies were themselves hauliers, it was meaningless and a dangerous way to frame an application, he contended. The Authority should insist on having more information about the traffic carried, There had been little evidence about delays caused through lack of transport, he said.
Concluding the case, Mr. J. Edward Jones, for the applicant, said it was desired to introduce a new idea into the transport field. The figures showed that the fleet was fully employed and there was a need for additional facilities. Some traffic had been lost and the company wanted to avoid the empty running associated with conventional tanker Operation.
Mr. Jolliffe reserved his decision.
