AN attempt is being made to bridge the gulf left by the Road and Rail Traffic Act, 1933, which makes no provision for restricting the operations of carriers who are granted A licences. At a sitting of the Appeal Tribunal in Manchester last week, the chairman, Mr. Rowand Harker, KC., in the case of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway Co. versus Allan Smith, accepted the undertaking of the appellant to resist the temptation to take on work other than that for which his A licence was granted.
On the following day the Deputy Licensing Authority for the NorthWestern Area, Sir William Hart, took advantage of this ruling to restrict the applicant for an A licence to a radius of 25 miles.
In • the latter case, Mr. James Whalley, of Old Trafford, Manchester, was disposing of three of his seven horses in favour of a motor vehicle. Asked by Mr. G. H. 1'. Beanies (for the L.M.S.) whether he was agreeable to restricting his operations to a 25mile radius,Mr. Whalley said he thought that would permit him to do the work that he had done with horses, Mr. Beames informed the Court that, prior to the previous day, he would not have put that question, because it was specifically laid down that any such undertaking would be unenforcible. The applicant was then put upon oath. The undertaking would, said Mr. Beames, satisfy the railway opposition.
Sir William Hart remarked that he had always felt it was reasonable for an ,applicant to_ give such an undertaking where possible. The application was granted.
