I move amendment No. 4:
In page 16, lines 17 and 18, to delete “(whether or not the licence holder has been convicted of an offence in relation to the contravention)”.The amendments relate to the potential unintended consequence of some aspects of regulation, which taxi drivers generally welcome. They want regulation and all the issues we have already discussed but they do not want full-time taxi drivers to become the unintended victims of the legislation. They are far more knowledgeable about the full details of the Bill than I. I have followed the issue for some years but I do not pretend to know every single detail outlined in the Bill.
