283. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will allow for appeals to the rule that PSV licences lapse after one year and one day as many taxi drivers have legitimate reasons such as health, civil cases and other personal issues for not renewing a licence in a given year but want to return to taxi driving subsequently; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

​The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including issues pertaining to Licences, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.

I have therefore referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
