Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

dismissed an appeal by the Eastern National Omnibus Co. Ltd. against the decision of the Eastern Area Traffic Commissioners to grant to Edward Kirby (trading as Kirby's Coaches) a variation of the conditions of a road-service licence for excursions and tours starting from Rayleigh, Essex.

The Minister said that while he accepts operators can fairly claim to have strong interests in particular places, he must also look to the needs of the public, whom the operators exist to serve, and try to strike a balance between the two.

As the Minister understood the earlier decision. the public was not deprived of access to a wide variety of tours, while at the same time the legitimate interests of the smaller operator were not crushed.
