AN application by R. Petty Transport, Ltd., Eldwick, near Bingley, to add two vehicles of 12.4 tons and one trailer of tons to their A licence was withdrawn at Leeds, on Tuesday, after their solicitor had submitted that he thought he was presenting a case for a B licence. Mr. J. Fleming told the Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. J. H. A. Randolph, that after consultation he had advised Petty's to withdraw their
A licence application and apply for a temporary B licence as they wanted to carry only for named firms at present served-by contract vehicles.
He was under the impression until that morning that the application was for a substantive B licence.
Mr. T. B. Atkinson, objecting for British Railways, pointed out that the application for a temporary B licence was heard by the Yorkshire Licensing Authorfty, Major F. S. Eastwood, on October 6. It was refused for lack of prosecution and on the ground that Petty's were applicants for an A licence and their vehicles were working under contract.
Mr. R. Petty said in evidence that a
B licence would now be applied for.
