HC Deb 27 March 1969 vol 780 c352W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware of the increasing numbers of private cars driving around the Metropolitan Police area with lighted signs thereon giving telephone numbers, names such as mini-cabs, private car taxis, and others; and, since the courts have now decided that this practice is illegal, what steps are being taken, or are proposed to be taken, to stop these illegalities.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

This is a matter for the Commissioner of Police, who is responsible for the enforcement of Section 4 of the London Cab Act, 1968.
