Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 10 October 2019.
A year after TfL’s consultation ended on improving private hire safety what steps have been taken to improve public safety?
Transport for London (TfL) will publish a report summarising the consultation responses and proposed next steps once it has given full consideration to the Department for Transport’s (DfT’s) response to the Task and Finish Group’s report on taxi and private hire licensing. The DfT’s response includes a consultation on statutory guidance for national minimum standards which is relevant to some of the proposals put forward in Transport for London’s ’Improving Safety in Private Hire Vehicles’ consultation and it may be the case that TfL will need to align some of its proposals with the Government’s guidance.
