HC Deb 27 June 1968 vol 767 c115W
62. Mr. John Page

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make regulations to allow more than one separate fare-paying passenger to travel in London taxi-cabs with the permission of the original hirer, thus reducing waiting time for many potential passengers at railway stations and other places.

Mr. Ennals

The restrictions on the sharing of cabs do not derive from London cab legislation and regulations but from the Road Traffic Act, 1960; but I shall draw the hon. Member's suggestion to the attention of the Maxwell Stamp Committee.
