Written question asked by Louise Haigh (Labour) on Friday, 24 March 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 29 March 2017 (named day). It was answered by Andrew Jones (Conservative) on Wednesday, 29 March 2017 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Taxis: South Yorkshire
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the specific requirements of South Yorkshire in relation to taxi and private hire licensing; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The legislation that provides for licensing of taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) services is enabling in its nature, giving local licensing authorities the discretion to set standards that they deem to be appropriate. The Department does not therefore undertake assessments of the licensing requirements of individual authorities.
The Government will shortly consult on Statutory Guidance in relation to the protection of children and vulnerable adults when using taxi and PHV services. The adoption of these measures among licensing authorities will be assessed.
