REWARDS TO TAXI DRIVERS FOR LOST PROPERTY

Early day motion 392, tabled 4 March 1999 by Barry Gardiner (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House recognises the honesty and integrity of Metropolitan Police Licensed taxi drivers who annually return goods and cash left in their cabs to their rightful owners for little or no reward; and therefore urges the Assistant Commissioner for Police to review the scale of awards payable to drivers as a matter of urgency and to give specific consideration to introducing a flat 10 per cent. award in respect of all cash sums recovered.
