Now that up to 5,000 London pubs, bars and clubs are serving alcohol for longer under the Government's new licensing laws and given that 10,000 minicab drivers have left the industry since 2001, is there now a danger that there will be insufficient licensed minicabs in the early hours, and that the demand will be met by illegal touts?
