You tasked Philip Colvin QC with reviewing London's night-time economy in December 2017. However, it has since emerged that Mr Colvin is the barrister for three Uber drivers being prosecuted by Reading Council for operating in their area, despite the council having refused Uber an operating licence in March 2016. Given the hugely controversial role played by Uber in London's private hire market, does this not represent a conflict of interest?
