• Archbold's (Freightage) Ltd.. of Leeds, applied at Glasgow last week for a new A licence for two attics based in Glasgow, on a very wide normal user comparable to that held in other areas. An application for continuation and alteration of its existing B licence in the Scottish traffic area, involving two vehicles and an addition to the normal user of "goods for Colvilles Ltd." was also heard.
Mr. H. R. Aylmer, the deputy LA, reserved his decision.
Mr. D. K. Archbold gave evidence that business with Colvilles was a major part of its Scottish operation, earning 05,000 of the total £54,000. He wished to reduce the amount of sub-contracted vehicles handling its Scottish trade, which was growing.
With regard to the B licence, it proposed to carry steel products from Colvilles to the freightliner Depot in Glasgow for nightly shipment to Yorkshire. operating one container nightly. That would only be economic and feasible if it was gutted the Colville authorization. A radius of 50 miles of Glasgow was asked for but Mr. Archbold said be, could not guarantee to limit the operation to Colvilles only.
