§ 53. Mr. Clinton Davisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment why a mini-cab company was provided with a contract to take home members of the catering staff at the House of Commons, 173W when the House is still sitting after 11.15 p.m., instead of his endeavouring to negotiate a contract with the licensed taxi trade.
§ Mr. ChannonThe arrangement was first made in 1965 because a hire-car service was cheaper than that obtainable from a taxi-cab service.
