Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Two associated Liverpool companies were granted additional A-licence facilities by the North-Western deputy LA, Mr. A. H. Jolliffe, on Tuesday. Mr. R. S. Snaylam, managing director of both E Snaylam and Sons Ltd. and R. E. Roberts and Sons' (Haulage) Ltd., agreed to reduce both applications to meet objections from BRS.

E. Snaylam, having applied for six, was granted three additional vehicles to carry "foodstuffs, metals, ships' stores, animal feedingstuff, machinery and machine parts, beer, wines and spirits, building and roadmaking materials, cleansing products, import and export goods; Lancashire, Yorkshire, Midlands and ports" and will surrender six vehicles from B licence.

Mr. C. H. Sharp, transport manager, Connollys (Blackley) Ltd., said that since Snaylam had been sending his company sub-contractors who were unreliable and unused to handling copper wire, consignments had been arriving late.

Wet salted hides were a dirty cargo that many hauliers did not wish to carry, said Mr. E. Janes, import manager of Staveley Taylor Ltd. Recently Snaylam had been unable to supply sufficient vehicles for three shiploads.

R. E. Roberts and Sons reduced its application from two to one additional attic which was granted with the present normal user.
