Our ref: FOI-4690-1718/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 23 February 2018 asking for information about Private Hire compliance inspections. I am sorry for the delay in replying.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

TfL have not carried out a Compliance Inspection on Uber since the decision was taken to refuse the renewal of their operator licence.

Inspections are normally carried out at least once a year, however we will also visit operators more often where specific intelligence is received. We continue this inspection regime as long as a they are operating.

The reasons for TfL not issuing a new licence are available online here: http://content.tfl.gov.uk/13-17-licensing-decision-on-uber-london-limited.pdf.

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.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
