Irrespective what this anticipated report does or does not say, now is the time for the trade to start, really start, to bang-on about enforcement.

I agree, but I will bet you a pound to a penny the trade will go on about one issue only should it be deemed surplus to requirements in the report.

Although I doubt it will. :sad:

An effective way to control numbers on both sides of the trade would be helpful.

How to reduce numbers overnight if they decide the PH become taxis :cry:
Only the operator who applied for the licence can drive the vehicle
so owner drivers only, if that owner wants a night off, the vehicle is parked up at his or her house
Or the other scenario if an owner requires a driver he or she must employ and pay the minimum wage to that driver along with all other employee benefits :D

They weren't overly impressive at the Committee hearings, and I'm not too sure they will get a warm response form a coalition majority committee.

So!!

How soon can the Politburo :lol: of TDO get the Transport Select Committee's report onto these well-visited, well-viewed and read-by-many TDO pages after the report's official release time and date of 00.01hrs on Tuesday 19th July 2011?

Would 00.02hrs on Tuesday 19th July 2011 be a little too soon?

I have faith in the TDO Politburo; 00.02hrs on Tuesday 19th July 2011 is NO PROBLEM!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I just has to be a Sticky!!

Another leak from the report
All operators requiring drivers must now employ them.
Operators must pay the minimum wage to all drivers, along with all other employee benefits


FFS I was on about that only half an hour ago :shock: :shock:
