To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to provide statutory definitions of pre-booked and plying for hire, in order to maintain the two-tier taxi and private hire regulation system, as recommended by the Task and Finish Group on Taxi and Private Hire Licensing.

Providing a statutory definition of plying for pre-booking and plying for hire was considered as part of the Government response to the report by the Chair of the Task and Finish Group.
The response issued on 12 February explained that since the Law Commission concluded in 2014 that a statutory definition of plying for hire would not be a practical improvement on the current position and there being no change in the legal situation, the Government would not take forward that recommendation.
Was the Task and Finish Group on Taxi and Private Hire Licensing a complete waste of time???

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, to stop licensing London Hackney Carriages and charging fees for doing so. The legislation Metropolitan Public Carriage Act 1869 section 6 (1) Transport for London shall have the function of licensing to ply for hire within the limits of this Act hackney carriages, to be distinguished in such manner as may be prescribed. Until such times as they can define the meaning of plying for hire.
Carry on the good fight till total victory for the trade. Can we not all come together like brothers instead of all the bickering. When a trade paper names a hard working loyal brother a "malicious liar" by name, has this gone too far? Is this brother going to sue to restore his reputation?
Well, there’s actual lying and perceived lying
I think that this brother has a case and should take legal action as we all no the orgs legal team who will be involved are less than useless
