Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Greater London Authority Bill.


Greater London Authority Bill

That is an interesting question. I have tried to be clear, although I may not have been clear enough. The Government welcome the fact that TfL is trying to take this forward, but it is a matter for TfL. We welcome the fact that TfL is discussing a voluntary scheme with the pedicab providers. We are speaking here about a hypothetical situation, which I think we should avoid, but we welcome those talks. If thing are taking longer than TfL and the industry would like, there is obviously an opportunity through talks to come up with a speedier and more satisfactory solution for all involved. But the bottom line is that the Government want to see pedicabs regulated, in the interests of passengers, travellers and the industry.
