§ MR. HICKSasked the honourable Member for Evesham, Whether he could inform the House why the Hackney Carriage Laws (Metropolis) Bill, which was introduced on February 7th, has not yet been printed?
§ MR. DIXON-HARTLAND, in reply, said, that at the request of the Amalgamated Cab Drivers' Association of London he had agreed to introduce a Bill to obviate four of the grievances of which the men had just reason to complain. When that Bill was brought to him, he, however, found that it was of such a nature that it would alter the whole Cab Law of London. He therefore intimated that it was impossible for him to carry through such a measure, and had remitted it to the Association for alteration on the lines pointed out. He had not yet received it back, and, consequently, it had not been printed.
