I propose to take Questions Nos. 329 to 332, inclusive, together.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including enforcement and the granting of hackney licences, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.

I have referred the Deputy's Questions to the NTA for direct reply to the Deputy. The Deputy should advise my private office if he does not receive a response within ten working days.
