HC Deb 22 November 1949 vol 470 cc29-30W
Lieut-Colonel Boles

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give an assurance that the pamphlet of instructions now being issued to taxi drivers free by the Metropolitan Police is amended to date, and that all rules arising out of the conditions of horse-cab days have been removed from it.

Mr. Ede:

I presume the hon. and gallant Member is referring to the abstract of the laws relating to London cab drivers. This handbook has been revised up to this year and no longer contains provisions relating solely to horse-drawn cabs.
