Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

r-t A WEEKLY levy of £5 per vehicle.

to be paid by operators of mobile shops, has been proposed by East Kilbride Trade Association to Lanarkshire County Council. The Association say that whereas ordinary traders, on an average, pay 000 a year in rates, operators of mobile shops contribute nothing to the county and damage the capacity of static shops to serve their communities.

A £5 weekly levy would yield the county over .£ I m. a year, as there are about 4,000 mobile shops at work in Lanarkshire, and county rates could he cut by 8s. 3d. in the pound.
