Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A LICENCE BID by the wife of a Stoke-onTrent haulier was turned down by West Midland Deputy Traffic Commissioner Roger Seymour on financial grounds.

Helen Jones, trading as HJ Services, of Brown Lees, Stoke-on-Trent, had applied for a new national licence for two vehicles and two trailers based at Neo Commercials, Longport, at a Birmingham public inquiry but failed to appear. The nominated transport manager was Steven Cooper. In February 2006 Helen Jones' husband, Jason Jones, trading as JJ Transport, of Bidclulph, Staffs, had been granted a licence for two vehicles and two trailers based at Sneyd Green, Stokeon-Trent, with the same transport manager.

The Deputy TC said that though Helen Jones had said she might wish to withdraw her licence application she had not confirmed this. She had failed to produce evidence of financial standing that was separate and apart from the funding for her husband's licence and her application was therefore refused.
