So they say,
The OFT report manifestly does not contain the evidence required to support its only proposal for legislative change: the abolition of quantity regulation. Its figures only support its case with considerable "adjustment" (which is never explained), its statistical and survey evidence are flawed, and it fails to consider the relationship between the taxi and PHV markets. Nor does the OFT explain why the taxi and PHV market has been the fastest growing form of transport over the last 25 years, and has grown by more then 40 per cent in real terms since 1994, if quantity restrictions have been so detrimental. Its recommendations on quantity control should be rejected.
But I bet you the Minister gets rid of the quotas.
Exactly who was asked to give evidence?
Was anyone from the PH trade, was anyone from the Institute of Licensing, was anyone from Consumer Organizations?
Nope, but the latter two have a far bigger say than anyone who was there.
I can feel a critique coming on.
