Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Sons, of Barrow-in-Furness, to add six vehicles to ' their A licence was granted by the Northern Licensing Authority, Mr. J. A. T. Hanlon, at Barrow last week. The grant was made to come into effect in three stages --two vehicles to be added not before August 20, two not before October 20 and two not before December 20.

Giving evidence, Mr. Jack Brady said that the additional vehicles were needed to help cope with the expansion of one of their customers, British Cellophane Co., who were extending their plant at Ulverston.

Mr. Hanlon was told that at the moment mechanics were working "round the clock" to service Brady's fleet of 36 vehicles and it was planned to build a new £30,000 garage and warehouse to handle the additional work.

A.witness from British 'Cellophane said that the plant extensions included an installation of a casting machine which would produce 55 tons of Cellophane a week. This was due to go into production at the end of the year and would serve exporters as well as home manufacturers.

Giving his decision, Mr. Hanlon said that he was satisfied that a case had been made out for the vehicles and there was no suggestion that there had been any rate cutting. In making the grant in stages, he was certain that, if anything were to go wrong with British Cellophane's timetable with regard to the production of the new machine, Brady's would not use the vehicles for another purpose.

British Railways opposed the application on the grounds of abstraction.
