Dear Sir/Madam
 
Could you email the me the total number of perpetual taxi licences that currently exist in Tasmania and a breakdown in each region. I also request the total number of plate owners who own such plates as some owners may own more than 1 plate licence. I need this information as I will be contacting a number of Ministers on this matter.
