About time too

Maybe other significant landowners including local authorities,will follow TFLs lead

But as I have stated earlier in this thread, licensing wold be a fairer option as some premises - such as research labs- cannot exchange acetylene for anything else.

The "Evening Standard" had a short report earlier this week; apparently only some 70 firms are involved.

The bigger problem than companies actually in railway arches (who can be controlled by their landlord) is those close to but not actually on railway property. This is where Messy's suggestion of licensing would be an advantage. What's the difference between licensing for petroleum and for acetylene?
