Question

Private Hire Trade

Will you act to ensure that Transport for London licenced private hire operators such as Uber pay their drivers at least the London Living Wage?

Answer

Date: Monday 17 September 2018

Officers are preparing an answer.

Date: Monday 24 September 2018

As I explained in my response to 2017/3499, I am a passionate advocate of the London Living Wage, which is an important way for Londoners to pay their bills and stay afloat when housing costs often account for half of people's salaries.

While neither I, nor Transport for London (TfL), has the power to force companies to pay their staff the London Living Wage, I remain committed to my campaign for London's employers including London private hire vehicle operators to provide it.
