I'm sure the trade in London argued that and lost.

They argued plying for hire. This is a different argument altogether.

Really not sure it's a universal desire. :-k

Agreed. Mr Button made that presumption.

My one point to contradict Mr Button would be in respect of hackneys working across borders.

Whilst I appreciate the current issue with Wolverhampton, we shouldn't forget about the situation with Berwick HC's and Rossendale HC's working remotely a few years before the Wolverhampton situation developed (and I appreciate when they were working away they were being used as PH not HC)

The Berwick and Rossendale issues were both resolved with intended use policies.

Unfortunately, a different approach is needed in respect of private hire vehicles, but section 75 (1) (a) covers it.

David Pawlaszek-Lawrie, the current NPHTA director successfully dealt with the Rossendale issue in 2017. I attended one of the council meetings.
