We suggest that requiring a licence for the mere acceptance or invitation of bookings (as under current law) is unnecessary and creates grey areas around smartphone applications, aggregator websites and other intermediaries.
They'll have to convince me on this bit - a person receiving the booking details will be aware of the passenger details - there have been numerous cases over the years of this information being used and passed on to criminals. Indeed, in some cases credit card details are given for payment in advance........IMO the person receiving the call should be licensed.
