The Three Pillars of Licensing

LICENSING occupied the minds of two, of the speakers at the annual dinner last Friday of the Western area of the Road Haulage Association.
Mr. T. D. Corpe, the well-known transport advocate, said that those people who advocated a "free-for-all " system had little knowledge of what went on before 1933. It was absolutely necessary that there should be some measure of protection for the free haulier against unrestricted competition.
Mr. Corpe also called for Licensing Authorities to shut the door a little" on contract-to-open A licence switches and similar applications, and also to "stop the abuses of F licences and C hiring margins."
The R.H.A. secretary-general, Mr. G. K. Newman, envisaged a new licensing system that not only embodied the "twin major pillars of the present system," discretion of the L.A. and proof of need, but a third pillar which might be described as the professional and finaucial standard. In the challenging period ahead, hauliers might yet come to welcome such a development.
