Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill

The full text of the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill which is scheduled to pass through Parliament this year can be read at the following link. With any luck this bill will enable the Minister to swiftly bring certain sections of taxi legislation up to 21 first century standards.

Like I stated afew weeks ago on TDO.....

I can't ever recall anyone saying so Jimbo - could you be more specific, or is this just a figment of your imagination.

And there was me thinking we had general elections every 5 years. :roll:

Laws are in-acted, but they can also be repealed. :-$

Anyway, it seems that the Govt has recently curtailed the powers outlined in the Bill somewhat to focus it more on cutting red tape rather than the broader powers which were deemed a tad authoritarian.

As an avid Torygraph reader I'm surprised you missed that one Jimbo, or perhaps ommitting to mention this volte face suits your agenda?

So what if a Government enacts a law to abolish elections? :-k

Then I would vote for it.

There is a consultation process attached to the legislation but as you imply it may give rise for concern in certain quarters? However, if it fast tracks some of the more outdated and eroneous legislation which works against those in the industry then in that respect it will be a good thing. There is more to Taxi legislation than section 16. JD

So why didn't you answer that instead of ignoring it then repeating the same claim some weeks later?

Blair hates parliament, (note how he walked out on Charles Clarke, after PMQ's yesterday) If you think Bliar should be given even greater powers to start illegal wars, to detain people without trial, et al, than applaud the RRO. Do I have a vested interest? Yes I do, but it's not what you may think. I became a Grandfather for the first time, but my son is out in Iraq clearing up the Bush/Bliar mess. This bill sucks, and should be consigned to the dustbin, along with the sleazeast government ever.

I have been following the progress of this bill and for those interested it is now having its second reading in the House of Lords. The bill is on course to becoming law by the end of the year. Anyone wishing to read the notes of the bill can do so here.... http://www.publications.parliament.uk/p ... 109x--.htm I don't need to inform people of the significance of this bill and the effect it will have on current outdated legislation.
