Stop English language test for public hire driver on renewal by TFL.
An English language requirement applies to all applications for private hire drivers licences received by TfL on, or after, 14 October 2016. This includes applications for both renewal and new licences.
Our demand.
TFL can take ELT for new applicant, not for the existing PHV drivers.
English language test B1 should not require for PHV drivers,
But TFL says-
If you were an existing holder of a private hire driver's licence before 14 October 2016, you only need to prove to us that you comply with the new requirement when you renew your licence.
In respect of both new and renewal applications received between 14 October 2016 and 31 March 2017, applicants have until 31 March 2017 to prove to us that they comply with the English language requirement.
We strongly oppose it.
