Taxis

Transport



Richard Burden (Birmingham, Northfield, Labour)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects (a) his Department's informal targeted consultation on taxis and private hire vehicles to be complete and (b) a draft bill on this matter to be published.

Stephen Hammond (Wimbledon, Conservative)

Against the background of the Red Tape Challenge, the Department is considering the case for making some isolated changes to taxi and private hire vehicle legislation, ahead of the wider reforms being proposed by the Law Commission. As part of the consideration process we asked a small number of expert groups for their views. If we decide to take forward any of the proposals we will make an announcement.

Why the rush now?

what happens if the changes proposed in the next few months are different to those proposed by the LC?

The government and DfT should come clean - they're rushing the bits that large PH operators want through.

I thought the words were "with a hard on" not "intent to rape".
