Taxis: Licensing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans she has to launch a consultation on cross-border working in the private hire vehicle industry.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Government keeps all policies under review and is aware of stakeholder concerns about the current legislative and regulatory framework for taxis and private hire vehicles, including cross-border working. The Government is considering how to improve the current regulatory position, whilst still enabling the sector to deliver safe and accessible services that meet a wide range of passenger needs.
