Did you mean tax?

Business of the House (14 Mar 2024)

Alison Thewliss: Can we have a debate in Government time on the urgent need for an employment Bill, particularly to protect those on very precarious app-based contracts? I have had several taxi drivers and delivery drivers off-boarded by Uber and Just Eat, but they do not seem to have any recourse to complaint, despite its affecting their employment prospects and their incomes. The Government need to do an...

Scottish Parliament: Scotland’s Economy (13 Mar 2024)

Ivan McKee: ..., Tourism and Trade, Mr Lochhead, to learn from people there, as Labour identified that he should do. All that we heard from Opposition members about that visit was criticism of the minister’s taxi fare, rather than understanding of what we have to learn from others internationally. That was a ridiculous piece of nonsense.

Income Tax (Charge) (12 Mar 2024)

George Galloway: ...like a ghost town. In Rochdale, you cannot give birth; no one in Gracie Fields’s hometown will ever again be able to say that they were born in Rochdale, unless unfortunately they were born in a taxi on their way to Bury or Oldham. We do not even have a postcode; our postcode is OL, a subdivision of Oldham. This town, which was once one of the most prosperous in England, is now one of...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: MOT Testing: Backlog (11 Mar 2024)

Keith Buchanan: ...that it is a full-time job getting appointments and driving all over the country when they eventually get a test booked. Why do businesses such as second-hand dealers not have the same options as taxi drivers to access MOTs? Like taxi drivers, second-hand car dealers and dealerships require access to timely MOT appointments. Their livelihoods and jobs depend on sales, and any delay can...

Written Answers — Department for Transport: Electric Vehicles: Taxis (11 Mar 2024)

Guy Opperman: The Department has regular engagement with LEVC and the wider industry on a range of topics, most recently including manufacturing trends and the extension to the Plug In Taxi Grant. However, matters relating to electric taxi repairs have not been raised.

Scottish Parliament: Mossmorran (Just Transition) ( 7 Mar 2024)

Douglas Lumsden: ...planning for a site’s future, but we need to consider the wider economic impact of a facility. That goes even further than the contractors to the indirectly related jobs in nearby communities—taxi drivers, hairdressers, bartenders and teachers—which have to be taken into account when we look at a transition to make sure that no one is left behind. A Unite the union survey of workers...

4. Debate: The Final Budget 2024-25 ( 5 Mar 2024)

Mike Hedges: .... The Finance Committee was told that the Transport for Wales subsidy is now between £13 and £14 per passenger. Does the Government intend to reduce it? How much do Transport for Wales spend on taxis when trains are not running? I understand from some getting-wealthy constituents that they spend an awful lot sending people from Swansea to Llanwrtyd Wells by taxi. Review enterprise...

Automated Vehicles Bill [Lords] ( 5 Mar 2024)

Matt Western: .... As I said earlier, these developments will have a huge impact on the economy and jobs. Other Members have asked what they will mean for operators in the logistics sector and, for instance, taxi drivers. I urge the Government to adopt our proposal for the establishment of an advisory council to hear from trade union representatives and take on board their thoughts, and, indeed, I suggest...

Scottish Parliament: Scotland’s Place in the World ( 5 Mar 2024)

Craig Hoy: ...we have recently achieved overseas as a nation has been achieved in large part because we are both Scottish and British, and that is the case not just in Hong Kong. I vividly recall a Singaporean taxi driver hurtling me from Changi airport to the city centre. When I told him that I was from Scotland, he pointed out that I was a Scot and a Brit, before swerving erratically while pretending...

Pedicabs (London) Bill [Lords] (28 Feb 2024)

Kit Malthouse: ...or you regulate none of us and allow us all to compete fairly.” That notion of a level playing field is key. When I was at City Hall, I supported the arrival in London of Uber and other related taxi services on the basis that there should be a level playing field with the black cab service. I felt that if there were not a level playing field, black cabs should have some privileges that...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Private Members' Business: All-island Rail Network (27 Feb 2024)

Justin McNulty: .... Whether it is visiting friends and family, travelling to a theatre, going on a family trip to the zoo or undertaking a trip to have dinner with grandchildren who are at university, the cost of a taxi is prohibitive. If someone has a car of their own, more often than not, driving to the nearest train station seems pointless, because, by the time that they get there, they are already 60%...

Unauthorised Entry to Football Matches Bill (23 Feb 2024)

Thomas Tugendhat: ...that football binds people together around the world. The number of conversations that one can have travelling and meeting Heads of State, Heads of Government, Ministers, officials—and, indeed, taxi drivers and folk around the world—is extraordinary, because football really does unite. That is why the Bill is so important. I will start with one of the points raised by the hon. Member...

Business of the House (22 Feb 2024)

Dean Russell: I met the Watford Hackney Carriage Drivers Association last year to discuss the challenges faced by our brilliant taxi drivers. The closure of Watford’s Pryzm nightclub in January is a devastating blow to the local taxi trade. How can I encourage ride- hailing companies such as Bolt to consider including drivers from the Watford Hackney Carriage Drivers Association on their black cab...

Northern Ireland Assembly: Executive Committee Business: Budget Bill: Second Stage (19 Feb 2024)

Robbie Butler: ...serious impact on the most vulnerable pupils. Many children who attend school daily do so with the expert assistance of a team of non-teaching wonder workers: from the morning pickup by the bus or taxi driver and the driver's assistants, right through to the school-meal cooks and those who provide one-to-one or broader classroom assistance. The reality is that if we did not have that team...
