answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2024 answer text <p>The Deregulation Act 2015 enabled Private Hire Vehicle (PHV) operators to sub-contract bookings to each other across licensing boundaries, but the legislation has always allowed taxis and PHVs to operate outside of the area in which they are licensed. Taxis can only ply for hire (pick up passengers at taxi ranks or be hailed in the street) in the area in which they are licensed, but pre-booked work by PHVs and taxis can be undertaken anywhere.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport does not hold any information about the number and proportion of PHV drivers operating in the Harlow area but licensed by other licensing authorities. As of 1 April 2023, there were 346,300 licensed taxi and PHV drivers in England, of which 264 were licensed by Harlow Council.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wakefield and Rothwell answering member printed Simon Lightwood question first answered 26/07/2024 12:52:07 answering member 4943 label Biography information for Simon Lightwood

uin	188083
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2021 answer text <p>Government funding is intended to deliver 15 or 30 hours a week of free, high quality, flexible childcare for eligible two, three and four year olds across 38 weeks of the year. It is not intended to cover the costs of meals, additional hours or additional services, and providers may charge parents for these.</p><p>Our statutory guidance is clear that local authorities should work with providers to ensure all parents have fair access to a free place, which must be delivered completely free of charge. Providers should not charge parents “top-up” fees (any difference between a provider’s normal charge to parents and the funding they receive from the local authority to deliver free places) or require parents to pay a registration fee as a condition of taking up their child’s free place.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chelmsford answering member printed Vicky Ford question first answered 29/04/2021 08:39:21 answering member 4674 label Biography information for Vicky Ford
