HC Deb 01 November 1979 vol 972 c641W
Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the taxi fare structure for each Scottish district.

Mr. Rifkind

My right hon. Friend does not have this information, because he has powers to approve only such fares as are incorporated in byelaws. Some districts do not control taxis at all, or do so in only part of their area, and others control fares administratively, or under local Acts which do not require his involvement.
