Alr Alderton was appearing for one of 19 applicants for a taxi licenee and pointed out that his cjient was not a regular tax-i driver. "Most of the applicants elaim that because thev have been in the industry in the past, they should automaticaily have preferenee," said Mr Alderton. "I have had con^iderable experience in the taxi industry and I submit that the fact that a person has been a driver in the past is 110 recomniendation for his licence.
