Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

SUSPENDING nine vehicles operated by Hutchison Brothers of Dysart (Fife), at Kirkcaldy last week, the Scottish deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. A. B. Birnie, said: "This is not the end of the matter." The situation would be reviewed to ensure that steps were being taken to improve the maintenance of the fleet. Hutchison Brothers had been called to a public enquiry under section 178 of the 1960 Act to show cause why certain of its B and C licences should not be revoked or suspended.

During the hearing, the deputy Authority was told that out of 17 vehicles examined 14 were issued with prohibition notices, eight of which were immediate.

In mitigation, it was said on behalf of the partners there had been difficulties with mechanics.
