I propose to take Questions Nos. 190 to 192, inclusive, together.

Under the Taxi Regulation Act 2003, the Commission for Taxi Regulation is the independent public body responsible for the regulation and control, including licensing, of taxis, hackneys, limousines and their drivers.

I understand that the Commission for Taxi Regulation is currently carrying out an economic review of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) sector and that the consultants assisting with this task are currently compiling their final report which will be presented to the Commission for Taxi Regulation this month.

When the Commission's review is completed and published I will consider any recommendations relevant to my statutory obligations.
