- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what sanctions his Department takes against taxi firms whose vehicles repeatedly fail roadside checks.
[161964]
- Answer
-
Local authorities (outside London) are responsible for enforcing the law on taxi licensing. The law allows them to suspend a taxi licence where a vehicle has failed a roadside test. The Department for Transport does not have power to take sanctions against a taxi firm whose vehicles repeatedly fail roadside checks.
