Minister for Transport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 205, 206, 207 and 208 together.

The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including SPSV licences, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.  

Given the role of the NTA as regulator, I have referred your question to the Authority for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51

Question No. 206 answered with Question No. 205.
