HC Deb 12 December 1973 vol 866 c165W
33. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will waive the six-mile obligation on London licensed taxicab drivers until such time as all drivers can be sure of having enough fuel to take their cabs six miles and then home.

Mr. Lane

My right hon. Friend does not consider that the present situation warrants such action, but he will keep the matter under continuing review.

Mr. Iremonger

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now fix a firm date on which he will undertake to determine the new meter rates for London taxicabs.

Mr. Lane

Our aim is to make a determination next week.
