Taxis: Greater London
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the impact of London-licensed Uber drivers operating in non-metropolitan areas on the viability of independent taxi businesses.
- Answer
-
Taxis and private hire vehicles have always been permitted to carry pre-booked fares outside the area in which they are licensed. This allows the sector to work more flexibly to meet the needs of their passengers.
The Government however recognises concerns around out-of-area working and is considering options to strengthen the regulation of the sector.
