Asylum seekers and refugees applying to be minicab drivers are exempt from criminal records checks, potentially allowing murderers and rapists to get behind the wheel.

Rules laid down by Transport for London (TfL) mean refugees and those applying for asylum do not have to reveal whether they have a criminal history when trying to become a cab driver.

The legal loophole in an official application document on 'private hire driver licensing' says people coming to Britain will not be required to have their criminal convictions checked.

How bloody ridiculous is that?!

All I can say is ensure you use an official black cab when in London.

The truth of it is there would be no record of these people anyway.
How many are applying under a false name or even false nationality!!

The rule should be "IF" we cant complete a background CRB check on you because of Insufficient data then its a NO.

The fucking grief I have had recently completing a CRB Check to work in a Military Establishment I have worked in for 36 years already leads me to believe the whole CRB thing is a fucking joke anyway.
