15 YEAR AGE LIMIT FOR LONDON TAXIS

Early day motion 61, tabled 14 May 2012 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 16 members.

That this House values the contribution to London transport which is made by taxi drivers; notes the high levels of professionalism within the trade; is concerned that the Mayor of London's imposition of a 15 year age limit on taxis will have the effect of pricing drivers out of the trade and will damage the skills base in London; recognises the importance of improvingLondon's air quality; and calls for the introduction of a scrappage scheme whereby taxi drivers can trade in their aged vehicles towards the cost of a newer replacement.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
