@The_LCDC The Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998 is not a National Act, neither is the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976, or the Plymouth City Council Act 1975. So why is everyone treating them as such.

@guidoacasa @unitetheunion Then that's what needs to be changed. How can a council licence an operator or vehicle in a controlled district that does not operate from there.

@UnitedCabbies There are 3 Acts of Parliament governing the private hire industry in England & Wales.

1. Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998.
2. Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976.
3. Plymouth City Council Act 1975.

Are any of these Acts national, or are they all local?

@The_LCDC @WolverhamptonCC @transportgovuk It will continue until someone within the London taxi trade sits down and reads the laws appertaining private hire and then challenges the drivers’ statement in a court of law.

@SirLesPatt2 It’s the App proprietor that is licensed to accept the booking, so it is pre-booked as far as the vehicle (with a driver) is concerned, prior to the booking being allocated to it by whatever means.

@BondCabdriver Metropolitan Public Carriage Act 1869 section 6(1) Transport for London shall have the function of licensing to ply for hire within the limits of this Act hackney carriages, to be distinguished in such manner as may be prescribed.

Down to TfL to determine if it ply’s for hire.

@Taxi_Point Why do these MPs keep going round in circles.
Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 is not a National Act.

@The_LCDC London Hackney Carriages Act 1850 covers enforcing order at the ranks, and removing any person unnecessarily loitering there.

@Sammyscarf As the App providers don’t have manned operating centres in the controlled licensing districts they are licensed for outside London, what is the rule that determines whether they pay VAT or not.
