HC Deb 24 February 1955 vol 537 c183W
53. Commander Scott-Miller

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make the necessary directions that in future London taxicabs must be so constructed that passengers using the back seats do not have to remove their hats to avoid continually knocking the brim at the rear thereof against the back roof of the taxicab.

Major Lloyd-George

No, but I have asked the Commissioner of Police to bear this point in mind when he next reviews the conditions of fitness laid down by him for London cabs.
