• No action was taken on the licence of E. E. Seaman, Roydon, Norfolk, when he was called before Mr Gerald Kidner, Eastern deputy LA under Section 69 last week. When the case was adjourned on August 3, Mr Kidner directed an inspection of vehicles and records and said much would depend on the outcome of this.
A vehicle examiner, Mr Richard Pumfrey, told Mr Kidner that he had inspected two vehicles and two trailers and there was a minor defect only on one vehicle. Records were in order.
Referring to records, Mr Kidner told Mr Seaman that apart from their requirement as evidence of maintaining a vehicle in a safe and roadworthy condition they should also assist an operator to exercise full cost-control over the running of his vehicles and give him a proper guide to the profitability of running a vehicle. They were not just something dreamed up by Parliament or civil servants, he said.
