We support the retention of private hire operator licensing, but recommend a tighter definition that would only cover dispatch functions. We suggest that requiring a licence for the mere acceptance or invitation of bookings (as under current law) is unnecessary and creates grey areas around smartphone applications, aggregator websites and other intermediaries. We recommend that intermediaries should only be liable if acting in the course of business, and if they assist in the provision of an unlicensed journey. We do not propose to extend licensing to taxi radio circuits.

They'll have to convince me on this bit - a person receiving the booking details will be aware of the passenger details - there have been numerous cases over the years of this information being used and passed on to criminals. Indeed, in some cases credit card details are given for payment in advance........IMO the person receiving the call should be licensed.
