The Bill marks a new beginning for the control of taxi, hackney and limousine services. It provides the basis for the realisation of an industry that will come to be known for its quality, in terms of the drivers and vehicles and also in the context of its capacity to deliver services to meet the various needs of the public. It must be recalled that the essential policy perspective that underpins the need for legislation to oversee the operations of these services is to ensure the delivery of a service that meets those needs.
