Thank you for your email received by us on 17 November 2017 asking for information about Heathrow Airport Limited in reference to Transport for London’s Taxi Private Hire Staff (TPH) Manual.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require. You asked for the following:

On page 49 of TfL's TPH Staff Manual (v12.1) it is stated :-
" Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) has the power to prohibit drivers from the airport either on a temporary or permanent basis ".
On the assumption that the above is correct, please provide basic details of the primary or secondary legislation or commercial agreement from which HAL derives the power in question.

The information you asked for is available on Heathrow Airport’s website. Please note that there are separate bylaws covering Heathrow Airport and page four of the bylaws document states where the powers come from via the following link: https://www.heathrow.com/company/partners-and-suppliers/conditions-of-use/heathrow-byelaws.

In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
