Lochside Dairies Ltd., Ayr, delivery vehicles failed a mechanical inspection, Mr. A. B. Birnie, Scottish South LA was told at a public inquiry last week. Mr. Birnie said the national average was only 10 per cent, adding : "It would be irresponsible of me to let this go past without some measure of action."

Lochside said only 22 out of its 26-vehicle fleet were used and every care was taken to ensure they were in good mechanical condition.

Mr. Birnie reduced the number of vehicles on licence to 22 and suspended one other vehicle from use for eight months.
