To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 19 March 2019 to Written Question 232503, what the timeframe is for the Government to bring forward primary legislation to reform taxi and private hire licensing laws.

Providing a statutory definition of plying for pre-booking and plying for hire was considered as part of the Government response to the report by the Chair of the Task and Finish Group. The response issued on 12 February explained that since the Law Commission concluded in 2014 that a statutory definition of plying for hire would not be a practical improvement on the current position and there being no change in the legal situation, the Government would not take forward that recommendation.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans his Department has to reform taxi and private hire licensing laws.
The former Minister for Transport, Sir John Hayes, set up a working group to consider how private hire vehicle and taxi licensing authorities use their powers, and produce focussed recommendations for action. The Task and Finish Group on Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Licensing considered the regulation of the industry in their discussions. The report of the Task and Finish Group was published on 24 September 2018.
On 12 February 2019 we published the Government’s response to the report of the Task and Finish Group which sets out which of the recommendations the Department proposes to take forward. Many of the short-term recommendations made by the Chair of the Task and Finish Group in his report are for licensing authorities to make full use of their extensive existing powers and these are a matter for licensing authorities to consider.
Work has already started to take forward some of the recommendations, for example the Department launched, on 12 February, its consultation on draft statutory guidance to be issued to licensing authorities on the use of their powers to protect children and vulnerable adults from harm which will run until 22 April. Those reforms that require legislative change, for example national minimum standards, will be made through primary legislation when time allows.

At a Westminster Hall Debate last year, the Rt Hon John Hayes MP announced the formation of a Task and Finish group to consider any regulatory issues and remedies. The Group’s remit includes the current powers of licensing authorities, their application and effectiveness. Issues that may arise from taxi or private hire vehicle drivers working predominantly or exclusively out of the area in which they are licensed have been considered as part of its deliberation.
The group is expected to submit its report shortly.

The Department’s survey of hand-held mobile phone use and seat belt compliance has been designed primarily to produce national rather than regional estimates for Great Britain. A new survey for 2017 is currently being procured, which includes options to allow extra surveys to be commissioned for specific areas, including by Transport for London to secure London level data.
The survey will record data about taxi and private hire vehicles; however, no currently tested methodology enables information to be gathered about the use of cradled mobile telephones using roadside observation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to introduce a cap on the number of private hire vehicles operating in London.

That this House, mindful that 2003 is European Union Year of the Disabled, notes London is rightly proud that it is the only city in the world with a fully wheelchair accessible fleet of Hackney carriages (taxis); further notes that the vehicles built by Coventry-based purpose-built taxi manufacturers, London Taxis International, and Tamworth-based Metrocab, strive to offer access for all with features fitted as standard, such as an integral fold-out wheelchair ramp, a step and swivel seat for the semi-ambulant, induction loops for the hard of hearing, colour contrasted grab handles and puddle lights to aid the partially sighted, light touch door handles and thick grab handles for the arthritic and a child seat built into the arm rest for parents; also notes the indispensable 25 foot turning, used on average four times an hour by drivers in London's narrow streets, ensures a safe pick and drop off for all; further notes that swing doors are easier and safer than sliding doors for passengers to use and that side loading of wheelchairs is safer and more dignified than rear loading used in some converted van taxis licensed outside London; and believes that with congestion charging coming into force from 17th February and Transport for London licensing private hire for the first time, the public's ability to be able instantly to recognise a wheelchair accessible taxi is more important than ever.
