London firms back Transport for London's English tests for private hire drivers

London businesses are in favour of a controversial planned English test that private hire drivers face, according to a new poll from the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI).

Transport for London plans to bring in a English language test for private hire drivers, and wants all drivers to be able to prove their ability to communicate in English "at the appropriate level for speaking, listening, reading and writing", in order to boost standards across the industry.
