FR a sub-contractor to contact a cusO tomer direct and take the traffic away from the major haulier. was "just not done," the Western Licensing Authority, Mr.-S. W„ Nelson, was told on Monday. Mr. L. Jenkins; a Bristol traffic assistant with Briti-sh 'Road 'Services, said. B.R.S. lost their work for Fullers Earth Onion, Ltd., in" 1956. The haulier who gained it was Mr. J. Keeling, • Southdown. Bath, whO had been a sub-contractor.
Mr. Jenkins Was 'giviiig evIdence-for the British Transport Commission when they objected to Mr. ICeeling's.application. for .threc nained companies to be addedlo. his B-licence conditions for, traffic within 200 miles. One of these was Fullers Earth.
Mr. Keeling said his five A-licence vehicles were fully occupied, but he could not get enough work for his five B-licence vehicles. As a result, he had to subcontract work to A-licensees when he had vehicles standing idle.
For British Railways, Mr. H. Bunting said if a grant abstracted their traffic, they might have to close their station at Midford, from which Fullers Earth consignments were carried.
Mr. Nelson granted the application in respect of two companies, but refused to add Fullers Earth to the licence.
