Deregulation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Graham P Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 June 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Deregulation Bill.

My hon. Friend is making a powerful argument, and one that I think the general public will have a lot of sympathy with. Does she agree that there are also implications for police enforcement? In my area, taxi drivers are sometimes drug couriers, and the police find them. If we are going to deregulate who can drive the vehicle, the question of who is the mule—is it the driver or the person taking the car?—is a serious problem for police enforcement. Who is driving that vehicle? Who is the person who last had it?
