Matt Rodda supports bill to ensure safety for users of taxi and private hire vehicles
READING EAST MP Matt Rodda in his role as Shadow Minister for Local Transport addressed the House from the despatch box in a debate on the Second Reading of the “Licensing of Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (Safeguarding and Road Safety) Bill”.
The Bill, brought by fellow Labour MP for Cambridge, Daniel Zeichner, which has cross-party support, seeks to secure measures to protect and preserve the safety of users and passengers of taxis and private hire vehicles, achievable through a number of steps in relation to both the licensing and sharing of knowledge with neighbouring local authorities.
