Taxi Regulation Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I welcome the Bill and the Minister's intervention. It will result in a better taxi service. I am glad of the regulation. We need to monitor the involvement of criminals, which is serious and worthy of more emphasis than the Minister placed on it. I understand why, for reasonable political reasons, he would want to take a moderate view and keep panic down. However, in light of the number of people with criminal backgrounds that are involved, the matter requires consideration. This involvement is certainly well known in the area of the city in which I live.
