Labour — Birmingham Northfield

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 March 2025

Debate

Disabled People’s Access to Transport

Contribution

I pay tribute to my hon. Friend, whose determination as Chair has meant that this important report from the previous Committee has seen the light of day. Does she agree that the reasonable adjustments framework under the Equality Act is the right one, and that the problem is the lack of implementation and awareness? If we had clearer statutory guidance, as exists in some areas, disabled passengers and other transport users would face fewer barriers.
