HC Deb 27 March 1968 vol 761 cc282-3W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on what date he received a telegram from the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association asking him to make an order under Section 4 of the London Cab Act, 1968; what reply he has sent; and when he will make this order.

Mr. Raymond Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when he intends to make an order to enforce the provisions of Section 4 of the London Cab Act.

Mr. Ennals

My right hon. Friend hopes to make an order next month bringing Section 4 of the London Cab Act, 1968 into effect, but a reasonable period of grace will be necessary before the operative date so as to give the firms affected time to make any necessary alterations to their advertising schedules. A reply to this effect is being sent to the Association's telegram of 7th March.
