Maybe they ought to check them all over the country and see if any of them have a CRB.

If they can't legally work in this country, I wonder what their insurance status would be, even if insured for hire & reward?

Baroness Scotland was fined £5,000 for employing an illegal immigrant because she didn't check her status. Will the council get a fine as well?

I hope that this is going to become norm around the country, god knows what past these illegal imigrants have, and yes the council or taxi company should be punished.

Some of the native UK drivers don't have:-

10 year check-able work record
Full UK passport
GCSE in English

You can't require the foreign driver to have a better qualification in English than some of the English drivers do that's just silly.

All that is required is proof of identity, proof that they are here legitimately and have the right to work here and a good comprehension of the English language.

I don't think they'd have any problem getting sponsors and perhaps a bond is a good idea but why so high? Are you trying to price them out of the equation?

The same way as millions of Brits get jobs overseas.

Whilst I'm all for new drivers 'jumping thro' hoops' to get into the trade, your requirements seem like a minimum qualification for the post of personal assistant to The Queen.
