Uber
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he will introduce regulations in response to the ruling by the European Court of Justice on 20 December 2017 that Uber is a transport company and not a digital service.
- Answer
-
Uber has always been regulated as a private hire vehicle operator in England and Wales, therefore no additional or revised regulation is required as a consequence of the European Court of Justice ruling.
I announced in a Westminster Hall debate that I would be setting up a working group to consider current issues concerning taxi and PHV licensing. That group has now been formed and will report its findings to me early this year.
