AN application from a Pakistani resident in London, which caused some confusion, and ended with the hearing being adjourned, was heard by the Metropolitan Licensing Authority, Mr. D. I. R. Muir last week. Mr. Mohammad Abdul Hye, had applied for an A licence for general goods, Great Britain. The application was opposed by British Railways, BRS and Roy Bowles Ltd. Mr. Hye was represented by Mr. Ralph Cropper.
Initial confusion arose over the wording of the application. "General goods, Great Britain" was modified by the addition of the words "Pakistani-speaking people". Said the LA: "There is no such language", and it was agreed that the wording should be "Bengaliand Urdu-speaking people." A further amendment re-worded the application to read: "Groceries, foodstuffs and furniture removals for Bengaliand Urduspeaking people, except from airports."
Mr. Hye explained to the LA that in the main his customers were restaurateurs and food stockists.
Mr. Hye said that Pakistanis and Indians had great difficulty in obtaining a transport service in this country. There was a grm language barrier which was difficult to ovei come.
Mr. Hye would conduct his business i Bengali or Urdu to overcome these prob lents. He told the LA that the vehicle woull be fully loaded as back loads from stockist would always be available. The need fo such a service had been suggested to Mi Hye by the welfare association of' th Pakistanis in Great Britain.
Mr. Richard Yorke for BRS asked th LA to dismiss the application on th grounds that the written application clit not make it clear what the applicant intendet to do. He contended that if the applicatioi had been published as now amended then would have been more objectors and ii particular there would have been objection from furniture removers.
The LA said the applicant had to content with more difficulties than most, "some o which are of his own making". If Mr. Hy were to take advice he might present a bette case. The LA informed Mr. Cropper that i would also be necessary to produce an in dependent interpreter at any future hearing
