I refer to your email of 10 October 2012 in relation to unlicensed taxis

During the period 1 January 2012 to date, there has been one report to the
Procurator Fiscal which related to 2 accused in terms of Section 21 (1)
(a) of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982.  This report related to
the Thornhill area, however conviction information is not statistically
gathered by the force therefore I am unable to provide this information.

 

I trust that the information available is of assistance and please contact
me if you require anything further.

handled, you are entitled in the first instance to request a review of the

facilitated by the Chief Inspector, Complaints and Professional Standards
Unit.  If, after receiving the review panel's decision, you are still not
satisfied, you have the right of appeal to the Scottish Information
