Officials from the UK and Welsh Governments are in regular contact on a range of issues. The Welsh Government has recently consulted on proposed changes to the licensing of taxi and private hire vehicles and once a response is issued an informed discussion of any cross-border implications issues can be held.

There have been no recent Ministerial discussions between the Department for Transport and the Welsh Government regarding regulation of this sector, but I will be happy to engage fully with Welsh minsters on these issues.
