These Regulations amend the Private Hire Vehicles (London) (Transitional and Saving Provisions) Regulations 2003 ("the Principal Regulations").
Regulation 3 amends regulation 5 of the Principal Regulations so as to enable Transport for London to issue a temporary permit to any person who, before 1st April 2006, duly applies for a London PHV driver's licence and pays the application fee.
Regulation 4 amends regulation 6 of the Principal Regulations so as to provide that a temporary permit issued under this new power, unless it otherwise ceases to have effect under that regulation, is to last for a period of 3 months beginning with the day of issue or such later date as Transport for London may from time to time notify to the holder.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument because it has no impact on the costs of business.
