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find below information on the number of private hire driver licence renewal applications that have been refused or withdrawn since 2014.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.
