That is what I thought. So the only illegal way to pass work to a op from another area is from another private hire op. =D> =D> =D>

Because that is one of the clauses in the deregulation bill going through the Lords at the moment. As it stands a private hire operator can't pass work to another Private hire operator from another district.

I'm a tad confused..

If you're a private hire operator, why would it matter if you were given a job from a customer or another private hire operator, and why would you need to know?

I could be sent a text/call/e-mail, saying:

Hello. My name is XXX. Are you able to collect XXX from XXX, taking to XXX?

How would I to know if it was a customer or another PH operator.

Apologies, if this sounds very basic, but most of the work I do for other PH firms is from the same Local Authority anyway, whether the job is booked under my operator's licence, or my details are already held on their licence.

You wouldn't, but you are not doing the passing on.

Is it any more or any less "dangerous" for a Hack to pass work to an out of area Hack or Private Hire operator than it would be for a Private Hire operator to pass work to another out of area Private Hire operator and why? Or for that matter, a Private Hire operator to pass work to a Hack from another area?

Exactly.

It is as crazy as a crazy thing that a licensed private hire operator can't pass work to another licensed private hire operator, yet a convicted killer/rapist/etc can open up a firm and pass work to the hackney trade.

but the passenger would (should) at least be safe in the car, even jack the ripper could answer a phone safely surely? (if he had one), what does the past of a base op matter?

Surely Jack the Ripper would have used a Hackeney Carriageor a sedan chair?

The point is a base op doesnt need a DBS check...

I know one PH firm where the owner cannot have a badge but rents out 130 radios at £120 a week....

He doesnt WANT to drive
