There were objections to the application from four companies—Glanton Tours, Ltd., Wallace Arnold Tours, Ltd., Workers' Travel Assoc., Ltd., and Southdown Motor Services, Ltd.
After an adjournment for the two sides to hold a discussion, the Commissioners were told that the objectors would withdraw their opposition if the applicants would operate only one coach on each of the tours they proposed to run during the summer. They also reserved the right to enter objections when the Windsorian Co.'s tours licence was due for renewal in November.
After hearing that those conditions were acceptable, the Commissioners granted the application subject to the undertaking stipulated by the objectors.
