To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will seek to amend the Traffic Act 1985 in order to repeal clause 57 of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847, in relation to police powers in relation to taxi drivers.

I have no such plans at present but I am reviewing taxi and hire car legislation and if my hon. Friend has a specific problem in mind I shall be pleased to hear from him.
