Taxi and Private Hire Trade (8)

  • Reference: 2018/0087
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
Do you agree with the LCDC that there should be an investigation of LTPH's initial licensing of UBER and their regulation of them during that five year period? Do you recognise that this would be instrumental in ensuring that the same mistakes and poor management decisions are not repeated in the future?

Taxi and Private Hire Trade (7)

  • Reference: 2018/0086
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
Over recent months, there has been major reconstruction of management at LTPH. All the senior managers bar one, who were involved in UBER's initial licensing and defended them over the five-year period of their license have departed. Was this due to the ramifications of them licensing UBER back in 2012, and possible evidence of mismanagement?. Are you concerned that the departing LTPH managers had a biased, cosy or unethical relationship with UBER executives?

Taxi and Private Hire Trade (6)

  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018

Taxi and Private Hire Trade (5)

  • Reference: 2018/0084
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
According to representatives of the taxi trade, your Night Time Commissioner Mr Philip Kolvin recently represented UBER having their licence renewed in Cambridge, last year he represented UBER drivers in court at Reading, and last month he wrote an article in the Institute of Licensing website on plying for hire, which some people believe could benefit UBER in their appeal to be re-licensed in London. Given the concerns of members of the taxi trade about potential conflicts of interests, do you think it would be better to employ someone other than Mr Kolvin, about whom there are no such concerns?

Taxi and Private Hire Trade (4)

  • Reference: 2018/0083
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
TfL deployed Deloitte to carry out an investigation on UBER's "booking process". They stated that the driver accepts the initial booking before the operator, contrary to current PH regulations. Therefore, why are TfL allowing them to continue operating illegally?

Taxi and Private Hire Trade (3)

  • Reference: 2018/0082
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
TfL have declared UBER are no longer "fit and proper" under safety grounds to be a PH Operator. If this is the case, why didn't TfL revoke their licence, rather than allowing them to operate on appeal?

Taxi and Private Hire Trade (2)

  • Reference: 2018/0081
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
Following an FOI request, the London Cab Drivers Club (LCDC) reported that they have discovered an email from Helen Chapman (London Taxi and Private Hire) to Tom Elvidge (UBER) where she provided Mr Elvidge with advanced warning that FOI requests have been made between MPS and TfL Officials. This was after huge media exposure given to the email by Inspector Neil Billany (MPS) alleging sexual assaults and other criminality covered up by UBER, which was extremely damaging to both TfL and UBER. Do you agree with the LCDC that this amounted to giving UBER a "heads up" in case other...
