- matthewheath 9y ago> (i) British law, not English law. English law is technically correct here. British law would be something that applies to England, Wales, and Scotland collectively. In this case, London taxis are regulated by the London Cab Order 1934, and minicabs are regulated under the Private Hire Vehicles (London) Act 1998, so this is law that only applies to England (Wales and Scotland have other acts that apply.)
- DanBC 9y agoEngland is a sub-set of Britain, so if it applies to Britain or the UK it probably applies to England. That's definitely not true the other way round.
