Representatives from the Joint Taxi Council,submitted to me last week their evaluation of the Economic Review into the Small Public Service vehicle industry undertaken on behalf of the Commission for Taxi Regulation which I am now considering. Separately, the Commission for Taxi Regulation has completed a major public consultation on the economic review and are now preparing a response to all the ideas suggested and will be submitting its proposals to the Advisory Council. In that context you will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to pre-empt the consultations and considerations of the Commission for Taxi Regulation. I have however, forwarded a copy of the evaluation to the Commission.

The representatives of the Joint Taxi Council met with officials from my Department last week to discuss the key issues of concern to their members. As a part of this dialogue, I intend to meet with the representatives of these bodies in the coming weeks.
