I like Tommy.. have known him for years.... But you have to look at the reality of what unite achieved.... when they started this Liverpool licences were £50,000 and now approximately 28,000 .. 1400 licences.... how much have they lost. they are strongly involved in driver training which means more and more drivers coming through.... I wonder how many of their members voted for this... people seem to forget that unions are businesses after all....

is Tommy McIntyre the same person that attened the NTTG meetings

One Tommy MacIntyre, there's only one Tommy MacIntyre, one Tommy MacIntyre, there's only one Tommy MacIntyre!

One Tommy Mac . . .

I'm not aware of it.

I should be in Bury on Wednesday, so I'll find out, or I'll give him a call.

More to the point, how many in the trade have put together a wish list for what the new Cab Act should contain?

Because it's no good having a meetong with the Law Commission, DfT or whoever if you're not prepared.

Talking off the cuff on the most serious matter that the trade is likely to encounter in our life-time is just not realistic or plausible.

Two things will come out of all of this.

Repeal of section 16, and repeal of the rules stopping firms passing work to non local operators.

It's the red tape challengne's fault.

THe Law Commission are also meeting Unite the Union as well as the NPHA.

I wonder if they are meeting with the NTA too?

It would be good if the Law Commission also met grass-roots, long standing in the taxi trade, proprietors and drivers!!

If you ask me nicely.... I will come and hold your hand :wink: ..... and the question should be.... not is the taxi trade ready for the law Commission....But is the Law Commission ready to go to war with the taxi trade....

Firstly, I know you are the Green Cross Code Man, but I am now old enough to cross the road myself.

Secondly, why war?

If anyone in the taxi trade believes that they can win a battle with MPs and the Law Commission, let alone a war, then we are deluding ourselves!!

I believe that this time the Transport Select Committee mean business and now that the Law Commisson has decided to take on board the Transport Ministers request to review and modernise taxi and private hire legislation, the Law Commission too means business.

The legislation covering the taxi and private hire trade is now firmly part of the Law Commission's programme of legislative reform and for that reason I believe it will happen.

Rather than do a 'King Canute', I believe that the taxi trade should be engaging in meaningful discussions with the Law Commission with robust and consequential enforcement as the very top issue

As I have said before, you can have any legislation you wish, but without effective enforcement that legislation is useless.

A National Taxi Commission with enforcement officers all singing from the same legal hymn-sheet, working 24/7 would be a good start.
