HC Deb 30 July 1998 vol 317 c435W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions following the introduction of a licensing scheme for private hire vehicles in London, if he will review the legislative provisions which prohibit any signage on private hire vehicles. [54526]

Ms Glenda Jackson

The Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998 will repeal the London Cab Act 1973. The question of signage on private hire vehicles in London will be dealt with in regulations under section 30 of the 1998 Act. We shall consult before making regulations.
