On Monday 9 November 2026, Keir Mather answered Richard Holden on the extra charges taxi passengers pay for drop-offs at Heathrow and London City airports. Holden, Conservative MP for Basildon and Billericay, asked the Secretary of State for Transport in written question 38271, tabled on 27 October 2026, what assessment the department had made of the potential impact on passengers of Transport for London's proposals to increase those charges.
The reply
The published answer replaced an earlier holding reply. "Taxi fares and additional charges for London licensed taxis are a matter for Transport for London."
No impact assessment is set out, and there is no comment on the size of any increase.
