Taxi Private Hire notice 22/10...

Taxi Private Hire Notice 22/10...

National Fraud Initiative
Important information for taxi-cab drivers...

We have just been reading the latest TPH notice 22/10 signed by the director of taxi private hire John Mason and we really do have a serious concern about our information being sent to a quango that is about to be scrapped.

Considering that the audit commission is to be culled it would probably be advisable for TFL/TPH not to send our details to that quango..?

The RMT London taxi branch will be emailing the Transport commissioner Peter Hendy advising him so, we would ask all trade orgs/unions to do the same. We look forward to the redrafting of TPH notice 22/10 if this is appropriate and any response from the TPH directorate. Please note the Communities Secretary Eric Pickles MP announced on the 13th August 2010 that the audit commission would be scrapped please click on link http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-10970008 . The TPH notice is dated the 19th August 2010.

Before any transfer of data is to take place we need to be assured of who or what body will be taking over these responsibilities from the audit commission.
