F/on from FOI-1576 - For the past 5 calendar years (2011-2016), please provide a summary of Private Hire Licenses (driver, vehicle, & operator licenses), which were refused, not renewed or withdrawn.

We answered
Our ref: FOI-1940-1718/GH
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 17 October 2017 asking for information about driver, vehicle, & operator licenses. I am sorry for the delay in replying.
Please find below information on the number of private hire driver licence renewal applications that have been refused or withdrawn since 2014. Due to a change in systems in 2013 we are unable to report on data from before this point. We are unable to provide the reasons for a refusal or withdrawal.
