TWO weeks' suspension was the decision of the Scottish deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. L. A. Wells, when he called J. Mitchell and Co. before him under section 178 of the Act last week.
Mr. Wells said he had received information which disclosed that false evidence had been given earlier in the year when the company was granted an A licence variation for an additional vehicle to be acquired.
A 15 per cent discrepancy in the figures presented, as compared with the actual ones, showed that less traffic had been carried. There was still sufficient evidence, said Mr. Wells, for the grant he had made, but whether the error was intentional or not, he felt bound to take action.
