Department for Transport written question – answered on 19th April 2016.



Neil Coyle Labour, Bermondsey and Old Southwark

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department has taken to ensure the safety of users of private hire vehicles.



Andrew Jones Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The legislation that provides for licensing of private hire vehicle services aims to safeguard passengers by ensuring that drivers and vehicles are fit for purpose. This legislation allows local licensing authorities the discretion to set standards that they deem to be appropriate for their area. To help licensing authorities set standards the Department has issued best practice guidance.
