The long-awaited Transport Select Committee Report on Raising the Standard: Licensing of Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles is now published. The LPHCA gave considerable evidence, myself in written submissions, which can be accessed alongside written and an oral submission by Andy Mahoney MBE, Chair of the LPHCA’s Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Transport Operators Group. Click the button below to access details of our submissions and the whole report.
As always, politicians lobbied by different elements of the trade will produce different views and there are some quite unacceptable recommendations and questionable submissions in this report. I recommend every member and commercial partner reads this report, which will be covered at our AGM & Roadshow on Thursday 17th September at the London Heathrow Marriott Hotel.
