Whilst I may agree that vehicles should not be sold with licences attached I can see why the council don't prevent it. I mean it's like selling a pub without a license to trade when clearly that isn't the case and isn't likely to ever be the case.
It's a publican that is licenced, not a pub.[/quote]
I always understood the building to be licences as well, but if not, my mistake[/quote]
No it is the individual years ago I used to manage offlicenses it was my name above the door not the company i worked for even though I was just an employee
But i think you have not understood the point here If licensing was changed so that the vehicle owner/operator was licensed if a new owner took over the vehicle they would have to reapply for a license the same as for a pub chip shop etc etc. i.e, the rights to the license would NOT be saleable only the actual vehicle
