HC Deb 20 April 1978 vol 948 cc284-5W
Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consultations he has had with the Greater London Council for the implementation of the Maxwell Stamp Report 1970.

Dr. Summerskill

Two of the Maxwell Stamp Committee's recommendations, on compellable hirings at Heathrow and more stringent control over signs carried on unlicensed vehicles, have been implemented. There have been lengthy consultations with the GLC about the Committee's main recommendation for the establishment of a statutory board to control both taxis and private hire cars in London. We are hopeful that these consultations can be brought to a conclusion shortly.
