Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

aspects part what would be our legal position if a irer asked for packed goods to be carried nd delivered by the driver?

If the mini-buses to which you refer are

genuine passenger vehicles and not in ny way constructed or adapted to carry oods, then it would be possible to carry goods ccasionally without having to obtain the arrier's licence which would be necessary Dr a goods vehicle.

However, if the vehicle is of the type in vhich it is possible to fold the seats and thereiy make considerable space for the carriage if goods. the Licensing Authority might then :ontend that it was a dual-purpose vehicle and herefore subject to carrier's licensing when joods were carried.

If your vehicle was likely to come within his category it would be advisable to obtain he LA's prior advice because it would be his narogative to determine on the individual acts in each case whether a carrier's licence vas necessary or not.
