Philip Hammond The Chancellor of the Exchequer 3:31 pm, 29th October 2018 

The Taxi and PH Hire trade has taken a battering over the last few years. Especially here in the "Northern Powerhouse"

On Monday the Chancellor of the Exchequer, gave us another kicking and took the time to make a joke of it. ! He consigns Taxis to the pages of History.

Quote:

"Our devolution agenda is giving power back to the people, and today we go further to fire up the northern powerhouse, fuel the midlands engine and back our regions across the UK. We are increasing the transforming cities fund to £2.4 billion and providing an additional £90 million to trial new models of smart transport, including on-demand buses—

 I think, Mr Deputy Speaker, that is what we used to call taxis in our day. "

End Quote.
