§ Sir J. GILMOURNo doubt my hon. Friend has in mind the London Traffic (Unhired Cabs) Regulations, 1927, which apply to motor cabs. Under those Regulations, during the year 1932, there were 273 prosecutions in respect of cabs loitering in the streets scheduled in the Regulations, and 112 prosecutions for stopping in those streets otherwise than on a rank or for the purpose of taking up a passenger.
