Taxis and private hire services consultation begins
Our review of taxi and private hire services provides an opportunity to simplify and improve the current law so it can deliver a better deal for consumers, including disabled passengers, while removing unnecessary burdens on business. We have launched a public consultation seeking views on proposed changes to the way taxis and private hire vehicles are regulated. Frances Patterson QC, the Law Commissioner with responsibility for the project, said: “Our review provides a great opportunity to streamline and improve taxi and private hire legislation and we look forward to engaging with as many people as have an interest in this varied and important transport sector.”
