It may well be the case that other considerations apply (taking account of the 6 questions in part one of this guidance note) but they are unlikely to be ruled out of private hire vehicle licensing because they are ambulances. foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not. In the space marked ‘Please give further details here’, please state type of activity to be authorised, if not already stated, and give relevant further details, for example (but not exclusively) whether or not music will be amplified or unamplified. 2.7 Boxes A to H (provision of regulated entertainment) Section 194C: This is a new provision allowing the regulator to set standards relating to information and transparency

The table below summarises our current intended timetable for the introduction of the revised guidance which may be subject to change: Proposed timings Please let us know should you like to discuss anything and we’ll get you in touch with an electrician who can provide a professional advice! Accordingly, if the driver of a vehicle used for carrying passengers is doing no more than collecting expenses, then the vehicle should not, in the department’s view, be subject to private hire vehicle licensing.Schedule 3, paragraph 2 of the 2023 Act amends the 2008 Act by removing the requirement for the Secretary of State to consent to inspections where these are carried out by a member of the regulator’s staff. It should be stressed that this is the department’s view of what the law means; it represents our best effort to clarify issues which have not been clarified by the courts. We recognise that in due course the courts might interpret the law differently from the view set out in this guidance note. In those circumstances, we would look again at this guidance note.

Guidance note 19 reflects these changes. Annex 2: Statutory Guidance under section 215 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 The regulator continues to incrementally adapt and improve its general approach to intervention and enforcement. We consider that the approach in the current version of the guidance which has been brought forward in the updated Statutory Guidance gives the regulator flexibility to modify its approach depending on the circumstances of the case and to apply the most appropriate regulatory and enforcement strategy on a case-by-case basis in furtherance of our statutory objectives. It is a requirement under section 215(1)(b)) of the 2008 Act for the regulator to publish guidance on how it uses and intends to use powers under Chapters 6 and 7. It is a further requirement that before giving such guidance the regulator must consult with the parties set out at section 216 of the 2008 Act. This consultation fulfils that requirement. It represents an opportunity for interested persons and organisations to comment on the revised guidance. In the department’s view, a ‘formal patient transport service’ can be taken here to include services contracted to private healthcare providers, subject to the other requirements identified in this paragraph being met.The consumer standards apply to all registered providers. We are in the process of revising these consumer standards and have consulted on them. We take a co-regulatory, risk-based approach to regulation, which allows us to exercise our functions in a way that minimises interference, and (so far as is possible) is proportionate, consistent, transparent and accountable, in line with our statutory duty. The department considers that most informal courtesy lifts offered by, for example, rental car companies or garages would not fall within the private hire vehicle licensing regime. The changes should have a positive impact on registered providers as they update our guidance, which should ensure that providers continue to have a clear understanding of how the regulator will use its powers and the process it will take.
