Proceeding contribution from Nickie Aiken (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 21 January 2022. It occurred during Debate on bill on Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (Safeguarding and Road Safety) Bill.


Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (Safeguarding and Road Safety) Bill

I congratulate my hon. Friend on this excellent private Member’s Bill. I am fascinated to hear what he is saying about the regulation and licensing of private hire vehicles. In London, we have the issue of pedicabs, which can be considered a private hire vehicle but have no licensing regime. We do not know who the drivers are, or how safe they are—in fact, we do not know how safe their vehicles are. Does my hon. Friend agree that it is about time that we had a proper licensing regime for pedicabs in London?
