Taxis: Licensing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to issue guidance to licensing authorities on consumer transparency requirements where private hire vehicle bookings are subcontracted between operators licensed in different areas.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Department keeps its guidance to licensing authorities under review. The Government is legislating to increase consistency in the sector so that regardless of where a passenger travels, they can be confident the services that they use are subject to robust licensing standards.
