LAST WEEK IN PARLIAMENT

 11 Oct.

Jim Cunningham Labour, Coventry South

There have been a number of incidents involving Uber and black-cab drivers in the west midlands, and in one instance police were called to Coventry station to sort the problem out. When will the Minister legislate, as recommended by the Task and Finish Group on Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Licensing?

  
 Nusrat Ghani Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport), Assistant Whip (HM Treasury)

The Task and Finish Group was established as a result of the ingenious foresight of a previous Transport Minister, my right hon. Friend Mr Hayes. Its report was made public only in the summer, but I am evaluating all its recommendations and will make a statement shortly.
