Taxi licences are held in company names and provision for the grant of further licences to companies is contained in section 9(7). All applicants for licences are required to meet the suitability requirements set out in section 10. Section 10(2)(e) contains specific measures relating to the suitability of members of companies. This technical amendment allows the NTA to make licensing regulations in the case of an application by a company to require that the company provides to the authority details concerning the membership, etc., of the company to ensure the suitability assessment under section 10 can be applied.
