- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill on 11 December 2024 (HL3030), what discussions they have had with Transport for London regarding the implementation, including timescale, of a licensing requirement for pedicabs since 11 December; and what assessment, if any, they have made of the impact of pedicabs on London.
- Answer
-
The Department for Transport passed the Pedicabs (London) Act 2024 to regulate the Pedicabs industry in London. Following Royal Assent of the Act, Transport for London (TfL) undertook a public consultation earlier this year seeking views on high level policy proposals to regulate pedicabs in London. The consultation closed on 7 March 2025 and TfL is currently analysing the responses with a view to publishing the consultation report and next steps in due course. An impact assessment was published on 7 February 2024 when the Bill was introduced into the House of Commons which assessed the impact of pedicabs on London alongside likely effects of the legislation.
