• John R McKenna, a Glasgow coal merchant, applied before the Scottish deputy LA, Mr H. Aylmer, at Glasgow on Friday for an 0 licence for three vehicles including one to be acquired; he holds a C licence for two vehicles expiring in 1972 and asked for an 0 licence for these, with one to follow.

Mr McKenna admitted having had an immediate GV9 on June 8 but claimed that when the vehicle had been inspected he had. been waiting for six weeks for a spare part. He was also asked about worn tyres following an inspector's report that these were badly defective and he admitted no detailed records of maintenance had been kept but gave an assurance these would now be kept using the Esso system.

Mr Aylmer said that it appeared the applicant now appreciated his responsibilities;*18-month 0 licences would be granted for two vehicles with no margin.
