Plying for hire (3)

  • Reference: 2017/3946
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
The Law Commission's 2014 report, Taxi and Private Hire Services, called for ''a statutory definition of pre-booking in order to create a clear distinction between the work of a taxi in its licensing area and the work of a private hire vehicle.'' Are you doing any work to help establish this definition?

Plying for hire (2)

  • Reference: 2017/3945
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
The Law Commission has said that it is a "major problem" that licensed private hire vehicle (PHV) drivers face criminal convictions for touting offences under the Criminal Justice Act 1994, intended for prohibiting carriage by unlicensed drivers. Is it right that licensed and checked PHV drivers caught touting face the same criminal sanctions as unlicensed individuals accused of the same offence?

Plying for hire (1)

  • Reference: 2017/3944
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2017
The Taxi and Private Hire Action Plan 2016 seeks to "extend the power the police already have to take DNA samples for touting offences to include drivers caught unlawfully plying for hire." In the absence of a statutory definition of plying for hire, what steps are you taking to ensure that the civil liberties of Private Hire Vehicle drivers are protected so that they are not unfairly criminalised or penalised for plying offences?

  • Reference: 2017/3943
  • Question by: Caroline Russell

Thank you for your answer to my question 2017/3607, which explains that Transport for London (TfL) "hold regular scheduled meetings with the private hire trade, including quarterly meetings with the largest operators and senior representatives of the main driver and operator representative bodies." Given your promise to ensure "wider inclusivity," will you meet with the United Private Hire Drivers who represent drivers working on the Uber platform?
