Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will introduce advanced disclosure and barring service checks for pedicab drivers.

The Pedicabs (London) Act 2024, which received Royal Assent on 25 April 2024, confers powers onto Transport for London (TfL) to regulate London’s pedicab industry for the first time. TfL is preparing to consult on these prospective regulations, which will include enhanced disclosure and barring service checks for pedicab drivers.
