The Department does not hold this information as licensing enforcement is a matter for local licensing authorities. 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>

The funding allocations from the £140 million announced on 9th<\/sup> March to help repair roads damaged by the severe wet weather were announced on 20 March 2013. This includes a further £33.5 million announced earlier this year as part of the transport element of the Severe Weather Recovery Fund. A table which provides information on the funding we will be paying to local highway authorities by end March 2014 is available at the following weblink:<\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/294497/extra-funding-to-repair-roads.csv/preview<\/a><\/p> <\/p> The £200 million for a Pothole Fund was announced in the Budget on 19 March 2014 is new money and in addition to the £140 million funding. From the £200 million, £168 million be made available to councils in England through a bidding exercise. Further details on the Fund will be made available in the coming weeks.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/strong><\/p> <\/p> Improving the safety and ability of young drivers is a key priority for the Government which is why we have made the driving test more realistic. The Department is considering several other options to ensure that newly qualified drivers are properly prepared and drive safely.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> This is a difficult topic and it is important that we get this right. Once we are confident that we have struck the right balance between driver safety and restricting the freedom of our young people we will come forward with our proposals.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
