There's currently an argument in Brighton about Uber drivers from
London being allowed to operate in the city (on their London
registration papers) because Brighton's requirements for the vehicle
are stricter - one of which is that cars MUST be fitted with CCTV
recording in-cab (for passenger safety, apparently)

This kind of thing is the problem. I see no reason for Councils to do
their own thing on this at all - a national scheme would be better (and
would protect people better, as a ban or suspension would be national
too).

The difficulty is you may find some of the individual local laws being
contradictory[1] and by the time you've amalgamated them, all the list
will be impossibly long and much of it irrelevant or unworkable in some
localities.

[1] You MUST or MUST-NOT use a taxi meter, is one that spring to mind.
