Proceeding contribution from Stephen Pound (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on London Local Authorities and Transport for London (No. 2) Bill (HL).
London Local Authorities and Transport for London (No. 2) Bill [Lords]
My hon. Friend has mentioned the view of the RMT, which I respect profoundly. The Licensed Taxi Drivers Association also has a firm view about this matter. One of its objections is that these death-trap rickshaws tout for business. I wonder whether my hon. Friend has considered that. They slow down outside theatres and other places of entertainment, touting for business and negotiating prices. That is not illegal according to the Metropolitan police. We cannot simply leave the situation in limbo, because in an hour, throughout the west end, this will happen tonight. Does he agree that action needs to be taken urgently?
