HC Deb 03 August 1972 vol 842 cc175-6W
Mr. Proudfoot

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce regulations to require taxis in the Metropolis to be painted in safety colours.

Mr. Lane

Conditions of fitness for London taxis are laid down from time to time by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis. I understand that the Commissioner has no present intention of introducing any requirement as to the colour of the cab.
