In making submissions on the application of Mr. J. Howarth, of Royton. Manchester, for an extra vehicle • (21 tons), Mr. P. Kershaw, for the L.M.S. Railway Co., raised the point that the applicant had been hiring substantially and the grant might result in the hired vehicles being released, to the disturbance of the pool of transport.
Mr. Henry Backhouse replied that there was no suggestion that hiring would be diminished and, therefore, the point formed no part of the case.
The C.M.U. A , was, he added, considering the whole issue. It was a matter of substantial principle that must be raised and one which the Association viewed with some concern.

Mr. 13ackhouse : "The position that is arising on hiring is to be taken up."
Sir William mentioned the submission that operators who had been subcontracting for some time ought not to be deprived of that work.
Mr. Backhouse replied that one of the letters supporting the application was from a carrier who had hired vehicles to the applicant, but was now too busy with his own work to hire.
Sir William undertook further to consider the letters and announce his decision later.
