answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2016 answer text <p>Taxis and private hire vehicles (PHVs) provide a particularly important service for many disabled people, helping them to remain independent and to complete journeys which may not be possible using other forms of transport.</p><p> </p><p>I recognise that the availability of wheelchair accessible taxis and PHVs varies across Great Britain. I know too however, that they can sometimes be difficult to access for some ambulant disabled people. As such we encourage local licensing authorities to use their existing powers to ensure that a range of vehicle categories are represented in their taxi and PHV fleets, so that the overall service provided meets the needs of everyone who needs to use it.</p><p> </p><p>In Northern Ireland policy on taxi licensing and accessibility is a devolved matter.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 17/10/2016 13:39:56 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

Until we leave, EU law still applies, and EU regulation in these areas will continue to apply in the UK, alongside national rules.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 14/10/2016 10:06:52 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

This power was already possible in London through The Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998.
