HC Deb 08 May 1996 vol 277 c140W
Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what new measures the Government propose to regulate minicabs within Greater London. [28337]

Mr. Norris

In our response to the Transport Select Committee, Cm 2715, the Government agreed in principle with the Committee's recommendation that all private hire vehicles—minicabs—in London should be regulated.

It remains the Government's policy to introduce legislation to this effect when parliamentary time permits.
