Written Answers
Taxis: Greater London
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington)
Tuesday 8th July 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to introduce a statutory cap on the number of private hire vehicle licences issued in London.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Taxis and private hire vehicles are an important mode of transport for many people. They are disproportionately used by disabled people, allow many children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to access education and provide transport at night when other modes may be less available. The Department for Transport is considering all options to improve the regulation of the taxi and private hire vehicle sector to provide the best overall outcomes for passenger safety and the sector. The administration of the taxi and private hire vehicle licensing regime in London is a matter for the Mayor of London.

Armed Conflict: Finance
Asked by: John McDonnell (Independent - Hayes and Harlington)
Wednesday 9th July 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to ban financial donations by UK citizens to the war efforts of other countries.

Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

As the Charity Commission has made clear, providing aid or military supplies to any foreign armed force is not a charitable purpose, and no charity can legally undertake such activity.
