The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013. Furthermore, under the Taxi Regulation Act 2003 (Local Area Hackney) Regulations 2013, the NTA is responsible for the granting and renewing of local area hackney licences.

In order to be of assistance, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for their direct reply to the Deputy. Please advise my private office if the Deputy does not receive a response within 10 working days.
