There has evidently been some misunderstanding. I am informed that the taxi drivers concerned were referred to the provisions of the Motor Fuel (Car Hire) Order, 1948, which permits an unrestricted radius of operation of 20 miles from the place where the taxicab is ordinarily kept, or five miles outside the area in which the taxicab is authorised to ply for hire, whichever is the greater.
