<p>The Task and Finish Group on taxi and private hire vehicle licensing that I set
up is considering cross-border taxi and private hire vehicle use in its discussions,
and will report its findings to me in the new year.</p><p> </p><p>At the request of
the Department for Transport, the Law Commission conducted a comprehensive review
of private hire vehicle and taxi regulation in England and Wales. The ability to sub-contract
private hire work across licensing authority boundaries was a recommendation of the
Law Commission. Section 11 of the Deregulation Act 2015 enabled this and has allowed
private hire operators to work more flexibly to meet the needs of their passengers.</p>
