Lord Storey Liberal Democrat Lords Principal Spokesperson for Education

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 22 July (HL1498), whether they plan to bring forward regulations regarding rickshaws in London in order to protect tourists from excessive charges.


Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Transport) (Jointly with the Home Office)

The Government is continuing to consider the Law Commission’s recommendations for reforming taxi and private hire legislation, including the proposal that rickshaws in London are brought within the regulatory regime for taxis and private hire vehicles.

We are already engaged with the Mayor of London in discussing the implementation of the recommendations from the Law Commission.

The Government will formally respond to the Law Commission and announce its intentions once this scrutiny is completed.

Are they really considering the law commission draft or just pretending they are ?
