HC Deb 19 December 1934 vol 296 cc1153-4
25. Mr. JOHN LOCKWOOD

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider representations being made by the Road Haulage Association as to the hardship caused to many road transport concerns, owing to the loss of claimed tonnage when modernising a fleet with lighter vehicles?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The licensing of goods vehicles is within the discretion of the traffic area licensing authorities, from whose decisions there is a right of appeal to the special appeal tribunal set up under the Road and Rail Traffic Act, 1933. I have no power to intervene.
