How on earth are they going to survey PH demand?

Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Bill

60 Refusal to grant private hire car licences on grounds of overprovision

In section 10 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (“the 1982 Act”) (taxi and private hire car licences), after subsection (3) insert—
“(3A) Without prejudice to paragraph 5 of Schedule 1, the grant of a private hire car licence may be refused by a licensing authority if, but only if, they are satisfied that there is (or, as a result of granting the licence, would be) overprovision of
private hire car services in the locality (or localities) in their area in which the private hire car is to operate.
(3B) It is for the licensing authority to determine the localities within their area for the purposes of subsection (3A) and in doing so the authority may determine that the whole of their area is a locality.
(3C) In satisfying themselves as to whether there is or would be over provision for the purposes of subsection (3A) in any locality, the licensing authority must have regard to—
(a) the number of private hire cars operating in the locality, and
(b) the demand for private hire car services in the locality.”.


Well I guess that's one way of buying a 'Yes' vote from thousands of ph drivers :lol: :lol:

I fechin hope not, Scotlands fast becoming a more Nanny'd country than anywhere else in Britain, The SNP are control freaks, they wont even trust us to have Air Rifles in the future in case some one gets their eye put out. Yet on their watch Thousands die through a sub-standard Scottish NHS and nothings said.

Anyways..Indy has nowt to do with this Bill, but sadly the same self serving Holyrood parliament control freaks will run the country just as badly what ever happens.

Says the bitter man who turned this thread into a jock bashing session, as he does with most things. :lol:

As for the state of the Scottish NHS, I'd stack it against the sorry state of the English NHS - which your kind are busy chopping up and selling off for their own personal gain.
I woke up a while back and Ive already finished my coffee. Maybe you should get the kettle on :wink:

Ty Toots, You know that and I know that but sadly not all on here knows that. I know what we have now ain't perfect but on the grand scale of things we are pretty well off and on the up compared to say the EU in general. why rock the boat for a load of uncertainties, untruths and other spurious propagandist krap we neither need nor want just for the sake of it from every side in the argument.

I'm quite comfortable in My Scottish Skin, I'm as equal to any other UK National, Scotlands already here, It's been here a long time, it never went away just because it was part of a Union, We have our own Legal system, Our Own Educational System, Our Own NHS system and our Own Parliament..I reckon The YES guys lack a sense of national Identity and suffer from low self esteem, thus making them feel somewhat inadequate at a UK national level, Why they think leaving a United Kingdom and burying themselves still deeper into the European Union is going to Increase their sense of National Independence is beyond me.

If they said, Look, lets have complete Independence from both the UK and the EU then I may join their Crusade, but no...they just want to be rid of England for basically petty reasons yet are still quite happy to subservient to an EU Parliament of which they will have even less say in its Running of things.

I reckon I'm also an Indy, an EU Indy because I'd rather be independent of the Larger, Heavier handed and less Democratic EU.

The SNP have been in power in Scotland for years now so if things are not as good here as they should be then I suggest the Fault lays at the feet of the Majority/Ruling party in Holyrood and with no one else...yet, just like petted children they blame everybody else for Scotlands woes and issues even though these things have occurred as a result of their own actions or lack of them and on their Watch. They are to busy picking fights and creating mischief and seem to have forgotten they have a country to run.

Aye Toots, Never a Truer word said "Why the shock, you know politicians will promise anything to get what THEY want"..you hit the nail on the head :wink:

Yes, Just you fetch the Ginger Nuts with you and we'll have a nice wee natter over a nice cup of Darjeeling on my colonial Style verandah which over looks the silvery Tweed as it flows gently along the border and weave's it sweet way to the Tweed at Berwick whereupon it's spews out majestically eastwards into the north sea in the general direction of Denmark and towards our lovely European Sisters and Brethern.

Now...Is it Milk with one lump or two ?? :D
