As my noble friend Lord Borwick said, this is not a party-political point. There has been a problem with inclusive by design, inclusive culture and access for all in transport policy for decades in this country. It has been disabled people who have been at the sharp end of that. My noble friend’s amendment offers a neat, simple and straightforward solution, some 30 years on from the passage of the DDA 1995. If the Government are not minded to make this change, I would ask the Minister: if not now, then when?
