I am also aware that, as the noble Baroness mentioned, this issue has been examined by the Transport Select Committee, which published its report last week. Again, I recognise that whether and how different parts of the Equality Act apply to all those delivering transport should be clear for operators and transport users alike. Given that the Transport Select Committee has made recommendations in this space, I am keen that this issue be considered holistically as part of a wider review, rather than in isolation. The noble Baroness has my assurance that this consideration will form an important part of the Government’s work, which will be set out in their response to the committee’s report. I would welcome further engagement with her on this topic.
