STRETCH LIMOUSINES

Early day motion 2080, tabled 3 May 2006 by Graham Stringer (Labour). Signed by 24 members.

That this House notes that it is estimated that by the end of this year there will be 11,000 stretch limousines operating in the UK; further notes that many of these vehicles can and do carry more than eight people for which they need a Public Service Vehicle licence and a certificate of initial fitness; further notes that to date no such certificates have been issued; therefore calls on the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency to carry out evening inspections; and further calls on the Government to investigate this area and to introduce new regulations which will protect the public.

Signatures by party: Labour 22, Liberal Democrat 2.
