Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made representations to the Mayor of London on the Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Action Plan.

The Secretary of State has not made any representations to the Mayor of London on the Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Action Plan. The Government sets the regulatory structure within which 263 licensing authorities in England license the taxi and private hire vehicle sector and issues guidance to assist them in doing this. Transport for London is the licensing authority for London. The Taxi and Private Hire Action Plan is a matter for the Mayor of London and Transport for London.
