Same difference.

But isn't ENFORCEMENT a NATIONAL problem?

I dont see it that way.

Another point Mr Edwards is suggesting, and, indeed, where private hire cars are attempting to pick up from the street, suggests there are not enough taxis. I must say I have never been absolutely convinced that we need two categories of vehicles anyway. Is it the case that in other countries there is just "the taxi trade" and there isn’t a private hire trade? I have heard some of them before, but if you could make the case for having a private hire trade as well as a taxi trade, a hackney carriage trade, could you make those arguments just very briefly again and convince me that we do need two categories of vehicles and we should not all just be hackney carriages?

Is it time to change the legislation and stop the distinction between hackney and private hire?

From cross border hiring to the 2 tiers. I wonder what they will make of the answers given. One saying 'it would be very helpful', another saying 'no' and another saying 'it merits investigation'. Personally I've yet to find out what it is that ph (in the taxi sense) do that taxis can't do

They will be when it happens.

I know of a very senior member of the taxi and ph trade, who bats for both sides, is rather concerned about it all.

Still there's always training. :roll:

Are you saying he is gay :oops:

How good is that area, because I think the problem is widespread!!

If there is no enforcement in a quiet seaside village with 71 OAP inhabitants,, . . . well you wouldn't need it would you!!

Come to the big cities on most nights & see the real problem!!

Carlisle with two pubs, a Kebab house & half a Lady of the Night house, ain't really going to have the same problems as Brum, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Bristol etc, etc!!

Which issue, because as I keep on saying enforcement is a separate issue from the flag of convenience one?

Anyway, both are national in scope, with the enforcement issue being the most obvious one, as Brummie alludes.

As regards flags of convenience, well that may not be an issue everywhere. But off the top of my head it affects areas as geographically diverse as Merseyside, Mansfield and Milton Keynes.

And, of course, the Berwick cars have been operating as far away as Wales, so doesn't that make the issue national? Indeed, isn't it you who's been highlighting the national scope of the Berwick problem?

Also, the flag of convenience issue is inextricably linked to cross-border matters generally and Shanks as well as a host of other cases demonstrate the problems involved.

Your own particular problem in this regard is that you spend much of your time moaning about how bad taxi licensing is, but at the same time you try to defend the whole thing because you don't like the possible repercussions of politicians looking too closely at the subject.

In short, you want to have your cake and eat it :lol:

Thats a really narrowminded way of looking at this.

Does anyone know when the next "Oral" session is? (and I mean that in the best possible taste, as Kenny Everett would have said)

Even a rough idea would be good.
