Brussels to hear of hardship over taxi deregulation

A DELEGATION of widows and partners of dead taxi drivers will accuse the Government of causing severe hardship to hundreds of women and children when they deliver a submission to members of the European Parliament.

The delegation, five members of Families Advocate Immediate Redress (FAIR), has been invited by the parliament to reveal details of the impact overnight taxi deregulation had on widows, partners and their children.

FAIR secretary Rita Fernandez said they will travel to Brussels with an open mind and leave it to the parliamentarians to decide what recommendations, if any, should be made to the Government.
