Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ONE of the largest manufacturers of window frames and joinery components, Magnet Joinery of Bingley, supported an A-variation application heard at Leeds last week before the Yorkshire deputy Licensing 'Authority, Mr. J. H. E. Randolph. The application was refused.

Stanley S. Hyde Ltd., also of Bingley, was seeking to add 15 vehicles (85 tons) and five artics (431 tons) to an A licence with a normal user of: "Mainly steel, castings, timber, building materials, wool, textiles and agricultural produce—mainly Yorkshire, Lancashire, London and South Coast, Scotland and Midlands."

Opposition came from British Road Services, British Railways and 13 independent hauliers. For Hyde Ltd., Mr. J. W. Mellor said the application was designed to meet requirements of a large customer. Magnet Joinery, whose future requirements had been assessed at 35 additional vehicles on A licence, but later reduced to 20 by virtue of arrangements to get more vehicles on Contract A. Various schedules were submitted and earnings on A-licensed vehicles for the year ended October, 1963, amounted to £16,109 and for the following 12 months, £19,969. The B-licence earnings were £11,034 and £12,325 respectively.

Mr. P. Kenny, for 12 objecting road hauliers, called Mr. J. Bell, of Bell's Transport Services, Bradford, and Mr. J. C. Fielder, of J. G. Fielder (Haulage) ltd., Bradford. Mr. Belt said the "milk round" deliveries of joinery traffic were not difficult. They had worked for Magnet at one time, but had not been approached recently.

The objectors submitted that no prima fade case had been made out, and in any event rebuttal evidence had been given.
