'THE Transport Tribunal were not
prepared to uphold the suggestion that, as a matter of principle, a licence could not be granted by a Licensing Authority in one area for the carriage of goods emanating from another area.
This was stated on Monday by Mr. Hubert Hull, president, when the British Transport Commission appealed against the renewal of a B licence, with modification, tO Mr. G. A. Stamper,lvy house, Culgaith, Penrith, by the Northern Licensing Authority.
Mr. J. Booth, for the B.T.C., said the modification, which they opposed, added to the licence a vehicle to carry agricultural implements for MasseyHarris-Ferguson, Ltd., between Kilmarnock and the Midlands.
In March, 1954, Massey-HarrisFerguson obtained a C licence and they hired the vehicle from Mr. Stamper. In April., 1956, the company terminated the hiring, and between that date and December list the Authority granted a series of short-term licences for the work to be done.
The Authority should not have decided the case, said Mr. Booth. He was not in a position to know transport needs either in Xilmarnock or the Midlands area, or that none of the traffic emanated from or went to the Northern Area.
Mr. T. H. Campbell Wardlaw, for the respondent, said whilst the traffic was in the main between Kilmarnock and Birmingham, the Vehicles were operated at all times through Penrith in the Northern Area. Drivers were changed, at Culgaith, and the vehicles were refuelled, maintained and serviced there.
There was no evidence that 'British Road Services had a suitable supply of appropriately fitted vehicles for the work.
Allowing the appeal, Mr. Hull said there was no evidence of any statement by Massey-Harris-Ferguson, Ltd., that if a licence were granted they would supply Mr. Stamper's lorry with sufficient traffic to justify its being on the road.
