Taxi Identifiers (green & yellow badgeholders) & Taxi Drivers Badge Legislation/Regulations

Request ID: FOI-0335-1718
Date published: 12 June 2017

You asked
TFL Taxi Management purport that the legal basis requiring display of Identifier on windscreen and rear window of Black Cab Taxi is by virtue of Section 28 and 28A of the London Cab Order 1934. I have located section 28 but have not been able to locate section 28A . I have requested confirmation that section 28A exists but TFL Taxi Management remain silent to this request and I have offered to go to their office to view the wording but they again remain silent to this request. Would you confirm the existence of section 28A and send me the extract or let me know where I can view it. In the event this is not the correct legislation/section underpinning the requirement for Identifiers to be displayed would you advise the correct legislation and section etc and provide a copy or advise where I can view it. Regards
