I'd agree with that if there was much stricter control over who can run an office and possibly licensing introduced for firms who operate all hackney fleets as well. I can think of one or two cab firms that might have never been allowed to be set up if that had been the case !

The thing is money laundering through cab firms is far more likely to be the owners/investors than the individual drivers
