Closed Law Commission Reforming the law of taxi and private hire services

Closed on

The consultation paper as it stands effects wholesale change to the taxi and private hire trades when only a tightening up of both trades is required. It is a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

The benefits it creates do not outweigh the damage and harm it causes socially, environmentally and financially.

Whilst I believe the Law Commission means well, I do not believe they have the understanding or knowledge of the trades to make informed recommendations and decisions.

I therefore respectfully ask the House to debate this issue forthwith.
