Labour — Glasgow South West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 October 2024

Debate

Taxi Licensing: Deregulation Act 2015

Contribution

I must declare an interest as the son of a long-standing taxi driver. Does the Minister agree that taxi drivers are, as they proved in covid, key workers and key to our economy, and furthermore, that in recent years their business costs, specifically their insurance costs, have risen to a prohibitively high level? Will he undertake to investigate the root causes of those rising business costs, which are stifling individual taxi drivers from maintaining their businesses?
