ON the application of the Road Haulage Executive, the Northern licensing Authority last week revoked three permits held by the General Haulage Co. (Leamington), Ltd. The order was held over for six weeks.
Mr. R. Keating, for the R.H.E., stated that in November last year the company were fined £1 on each of 23 summonses for exceeding their permitted radius. These, he contended, were serious breaches of permit conditions.
Mr. T. H. Campbell Wardlaw, for the company, said that the Government announced in their White Paper of May, 1952, that the 25-mile limit was to be removed, but no date was given.
