The crucial point about the lawful operation of private hire vehicles is that a licensed private hire operator must, when fulfilling a booking, use vehicles and drivers licensed by the same local licensing authority as granted the operator licence. Actual journeys can start outside, or go beyond, or be wholly outside, the local authority's boundary.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 26/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
