Andy, the two taxi acting as private hire and ph as phire are not the same thing! I said and I meant that the ph trade have nothing to do with delimitation?

Wharfy, the 1847 act allows licensed HC vehicle to operate in a district. It doesn't allow licensed HC vehicles to operate outside of that district.
Thus you could say that HC muddle the PH trade.
The PH trade have allowed themselves to be made pseudo HC, by councils too lasy to enforce both trades. They (in my manor) have the same fit and proper criteria for drivers, and the same fit and proper criteria for vehicles, for both HC and PH.
PH trade built to do with rapists, is just plain daft.
The CRB trade (so to speak) is there to deal with that for both HC and PH.
As for the PH trade dictating this or in no position to dictate that, again is plain daft. People in whatever trade they be, have a right to a say. If that leads to people dictating, then so be it.
I wish I could dictate this trade, cos it would be 100% more fair, than it is at present.
As for the PH trade having nothing to do with de-limination, well they do. Where do you think most of the new plate holders come from, following de-limination? If there was no PH trade, and the 1976 act never was, then I would say that by now all councils would be de-limited. Because the existing HC trade couldn't cope.
Oh and your last sentence, is perhaps the only bit of that post that could be viewed as the truth.
