Deregulation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 February 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Deregulation Bill.

I thought that I had explained that, but I will repeat it very quickly. Obviously, we are working on our response to the Law Commission. I have listened to this House today, and this will be a complex piece of legislation in the very much changing world of private hire and taxis, so it seems wrong to deny the public the benefits of simple changes that could be passed now. As I say, they both enhance safety and give flexibility and opportunity, particularly to the small players, who must live day to day. I see no reason not to take advantage of that possibility.
