The sentence I like is

"Written evidence would also be welcome on other issues relating to taxi and private hire vehicles, including matters concerning passenger safety."

They had better have a big hard drive to hold all the emails.

Especially if every driver, Taxi and PH, want to have a say. :roll:

2. Evidence should be submitted in Word or Rich Text format, by e-mail to transev@parliament.uk. The body of the e-mail should include a contact name, telephone number and postal address. It should be absolutely clear who the submission is from, particularly whether it is on behalf of an organisation or in the name of an individual.

In this instance would or could TDO be considered an organisation....

Didn't think so.

We would need six really huge (and I mean seriously massive) pages, and that's just for starters!

They will probably ask that all private hire have to return to their own area before taking the next bookings. :wink:

And that will be a very simple new law to enforce!!!

Be very careful what you wish for!!

If you start to structure your input now in the shape of a Word doc. you might get it finished in two or three weeks time.

It's too important to try to finish in one or two attempts.

And who says that you can't submit more than one brief 6 page submission?

A4 paper with Arial 5 point font, will get a lot of words on 6 pages, probably 6-8,000.

How would that work if you take someone from say Liverpool to Birmingham airport and your next job is from Birmingham airport to Liverpool?

Clearly it wouldn't, or shouldn't. Which is why some are emphasizing the waiting on a street point.

Personally I will be suggesting that they bring out... A Merseyside plate which would licence the five areas together... and bring the hackney fares in line... a Sefton driver would be able to pick up anywhere in Merseyside.... but only sit on stands in his licensed area.... and if the private hire had a Merseyside plate... then they would not be cross border hiring.... simple
