Government plans to check on taxi drivers have been welcomed in Hull
The chairman of a Hull Taxi Association says he welcomes the government's plan to toughen up driver security checks.

The Department for Transport is reviewing licensing guidelines for councils, so the changes can be rolled out nationwide.
Pete Nilsson from the Hull Hackney Carriage Association says it all makes sense:
Parents of missing Hull student issue emotional message
Driffield to produce guide for visitors
Hull City Council to be tough on violence on Orchard Park
