• C. P. Marshall, Ltd, haulage contractors, of Scunthorpe, were at Scunthorpe magistrates' court fined a total of £80 following pleas of guilty to two charges of failing to cause records to be kept and two charges of failing to examine and sign a driver's record sheet. Two similar charges were the subject of not guilty pleas and the prosecution offered no evidence. The firm's driver, Mr M. Dawson, of Grange-lane South, Scunthorpe, pleaded guilty to two charges of failing to keep current records and two charges of failing to deliver completed records within seven days and was fined a total of £40. For the defence it was stated that there was no intention of breaking regulations but the offences were committed during the miners' strike.
