been successful in seeking a licence in her own name. Her husband was disqualified from holding an operator's licence in October 1987 following his conviction at Teesside Crown Court for making a false instrument, using a false instrument, and receiving stolen property, after he had bought stolen excise licence discs (CM 8-14 October 1987).
Diane Bayles, trading as Bayles Transport, applied to North Eastern Licensing Authority Frederick Whalley for a new national licence for two vehicles. However, the LA was prepared to grant a licence for only one vehicle for 12 months. Describing it as a probationary period, Whalley said Diane Bayles's operations would be monitored to see that everything was being done properly.
Diane Bayles said she had obtained a CPC after her husband's licence had been revoked. She would act as transport manager, controlling tachographs, finance and the general running of the business. Her husband would be involved as a mechanic and a driver.
Whalley pointed out that when a traffic examiner had visited Geoffrey Bayles, he had been quite insistent that it was his business and not his wife's, Diane Bayles said that everything would eventually be transferred into her name, though at the moment it was still her husband's business.
Asked about finance, Diane Bayles said she had a bank loan of 23,696. They had just sold two vehicles. That money was not shown in the figures and was in her husband's bank account. She thought it would cost about 21,500 to buy a secondhand 16-tonner and that it would cost around 21,000 to tax and insure it. Estimated income was based on the supposition that the vehicle would earn 21,500 a month.
Granting the licence, Whalley warned that from now on the responsibility was Diane Bayles's.
