HC Deb 31 July 1997 vol 299 c530W
Sir George Young

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions when he will consult over the Government's commitment to regulate London's minicabs; and if he will make a statement. [12270]

Ms Glenda Jackson

I have today published a consultation paper on how best to regulate London's minicabs. I have arranged for copies to be deposited in the Library. Comments are invited by 15 September.

I will arrange for the right hon. Member to see the results of the consultation before the Private Hire Vehicles (London) Bill is published.
