Commercial Minicab Signage (EDM1751)

Commercial Minicab Signage

EDM number 1751 in 2005-06, proposed by Lee Scott on 06/03/2006.

That this House notes with concern that a large number of women are sexually assaulted every year in London by illegal minicab drivers; further notes that the Public Carriage Office is considering permitting commercial signage on the exterior of licensed minicabs; is concerned that this will lead to the public being deceived by `imitation' unlicensed minicabs using bogus signage as a badge of respectability; believes that commercial signage will increase illegal touting in London and threaten to reverse the downward trend in sexual assaults against women; acknowledges that the Metropolitan Police Cab Enforcement Unit is already overstretched; is alarmed that the Public Carriage Office consultation only proposes one option for consideration and not the status quo; and calls on the Mayor of London and Transport for London to rule out the introduction of commercial signage for minicabs.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
