§ Mr. Teelingasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the Streamline Association of Hove has now had its 28 small taxicab owners running motorcars for eight years without renewal; that police Regulations for conditions of vehicles is being tightened up; and that, unless some priority is allowed the association for the purchase of new motorcars, all taxicabs will soon have to be withdrawn from use in Hove; and what action he proposes taking.
§ Mr. BarnesI have not received any communication from the association, on the subject and in any case I have no control over the allocation of new vehicles or the licensing of cabs to ply for hire.
