I propose to take Questions Nos. 117 and 118 together.

The forthcoming review of the taxi sector will be undertaken in line with the commitment in the Programme for Government and its Terms of Reference will be announced shortly. The review will enable stakeholder consultation so that the views of both the taxi sector as well as the interest of consumers can be addressed.

To date I have met with various taxi representative bodies and will continue to do so over the coming weeks.
