NINE VEHICLES IDLE
A N objector told the Scottish Deputy rALicensing Authority at Dundee, last week, that of his fleet of 17 tipping lorries, four were idle, and that his company had five new vehicles which had been bought last year and were still unlicensed. He said that Government cuts and the curtailment of building programmes were the main causes of the considerable decline in the haulage business.
