COMMENTING that "one of the 1.--• fundamental usages of the licensing system is that the applicant ought to prove his case with evidence," the Minister of Transport in a written decision has dismissed, with costs, appeals by Southdown, W.T.A., Glenton Tours, Wallace Arnold and Eastern National against the Metropolitan Traffic Commissioner's grant of licences to George Ewer and Co., Ltd., and Fallowfield and Britten, Ltd., to operate three three-day tours from London.
The Minister accepts the Commissioner's interpretation of his decision on
the respondents' earlier application as not constituting an invitation to submit new, applications, and, because the appellants made insufficient attempt to substantiate their applications, he accordingly agrees that the Commissioner was bound to reject their case,
The Minister has also dismissed the appeals by each of these appellants (except Eastern National) against the Commissioner's refusal to grant them licences for three three-day tours, and against his refusal of a backing application by Southdown for three-day tours to South Wales.
