§ 15. Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has considered the resolution sent to him from a meeting of London taxicab drivers urging the bringing up to date of the hackney carriage laws; and whether he will amend these laws as suggested.
§ Mr. EdeNo such resolution has yet reached me. As regards any amendment of the law relating to London taxicabs, I would refer to the reply which I gave on 9th December last to Questions by my hon. Friend the Member for Bolton (Mr. J. Lewis) and the hon. and gallant Member for Finchley (Captain Crowder) and the hon. Member for Harrow, West (Mr. Bower).
§ Mr. JannerDoes not my right hon. Friend think that these hackney carriage laws are very antiquated, and that they should be improved and brought up-to-date?
