ERATORS HAVE won a further concession from r the environmental 0-licence controls being nsport Bill. the Government included in the

■ ri amendment was being -oduced in the House of Lords is week which affects lations where there is no iterial change in the orations of an applicant for a lewed operator's licence.

n these circumstances, a ensing Authority can only use to issue a licence if -king arrangements are not tisfactory, but the ivernment now wants to ;tire that the LA will not be

e to attach any condition to licence without first giving the applicant an opportunity to make representations on the effect this will have on his business.

The LA will be required by law to give special consideration to these representations.

Both the Road Haulage Association and the Freight Transport Association have welcomed the concession, and accept that the Government has probably gone as far as it can in meeting their objections to the Bill as it was originally drafted.
