Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth (Conservative).
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to discourage the use of unlicensed taxi cabs.
Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat)
The Government’s principal role in relation to taxis and private hire vehicles is to ensure that the legislative framework is fit for purpose and to provide guidance to licensing authorities. On the former, we have asked the Law Commission to review the legislation and they will be reporting to us in April 2014. On the latter, we have published Best Practice Guidance for licensing authorities. The Guidance stresses the importance of enforcement in ensuring that passengers use only properly licensed taxis and private hire vehicles.
