§ 52. Mr. W. BAKERasked the Home Secretary whether he will state the number of taximeters in London which have been corrected; the number still to be altered; and the time limit within which he expects the change to be concluded?
§ Sir V. HENDERSONThe number of taximeters corrected and fitted to motor cabs up to the 16th May was 4,137. Approximately 3,700 remain to be altered. It is expected that all the cabs will be fitted with the corrected taximeters by the 31st August next.
§ Mr. DAYIs it proposed to extend the time limit for taxicabs whose owners are not in a position to have them fitted at present?
§ Sir V. HENDERSONThat will be considered when 31st August comes.
