Dirprwy Llywydd, I would first of all like to recognise the vitally important role that the taxi and private hire vehicle industry is playing during the COVID pandemic.

We acknowledge that this is a financially difficult time for the industry, with restrictions meaning usual customer demand is extraordinarily low.
