Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

carriage of consignments under three tons was the main reason given for an application by Bassett Roadways Ltd., at Birmingham last week, for five new vehicles on A licence with a normal user of general goods within 100 miles of their Tittensor base.

British Road Services and British Railways objected on the ground of quantum. Later. Mr. H. C. Simpson, for BRS. submitted that the applicants' evidence showed the need for only three vehicles with a normal user of collection and delivery within 40 miles. However, the West Midland Licensing Authority, Mr. J. Else, granted four vehicles—two 3ton vans and two drop-sided flats or not more than 41 tons, with a normal user as applied for.

A third drop-sided vehicle was refused by Mr. Else.
