TfL provide data for phone calls made to TPH, this data consists of the number of calls received, time taken to answer and calls aborted etc. The LCDC believe that sharing this data would be beneficial for transparency and to understand the productivity of TPH better.

The Mayor says that issues are common to licensing authorities for taxi and private hire services across the country and that he has called on the Government to bring forward legislation that applies nationally in order to provide an effective national solution. Is it not the case that it is predominantly one PH Operator that is causing most of the problems throughout the country in terms of cross-border hiring and causing disruptive change to local taxi and private hire markets?
