Then they could license as PH.

Don't some Councils also have the intended use policy for Private Hire since the deregulation act?



Thought we were just discussing Hackney Carriage Policy and conditions attached to license.

Is there a difference to how such a policy is applied to hackney and Private hire?

I'm not sure of that. I think our good friend Mr Button is of the opinion that an intended use policy would be unlawful for a PH vehicle.

But the point I made about the duty parliament imposed on councils, must, IMO, surely apply to PH as much as it does hackneys.

Only if the 3 license rule is being fulfilled,if it is not the Council and Police should be doing something about it or is it another case of TAXI proprietor/driver turning a blind eye and cannot be bothered themselves to do anything about it.

60. In the new section 55A, subsection (1) allows an operator who accepts a booking for a private hire vehicle to sub-contract it to four types of operator - (a) an operator licensed and located in the same district as the initial operator; (b) an operator licensed and located in a different district from the initial operator (a different district but one which is still governed by the same legislation – in practice this means a district in England or Wales but outside London or Plymouth); (c) an operator licensed and located in London; or (d) a person located in Scotland. Scenario (a) constitutes a re-statement of existing law – it is already lawful for a private hire vehicle operator to sub-contract a booking to another operator licensed in the same licensing district. Scenario (a) has been included because it is not currently expressly stated on the face of the Act and stating all four scenarios where an operator can sub-contract a booking in this amendment makes the law clearer and easier to follow

This still means the 3 license rule applies.
