Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the need for legislation to control pedicab traffic in central London.

The Department has received a number of representations from MPs, Councillors, members of the public and the business community in the West End of London about the need to control pedicabs in central London. We have concluded that there is a need to regulate pedicabs and are investigating a suitable legislative slot to do this.
