Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 March 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

Further, as I have previously stated, we intend to use the new national minimum standards powers proposed in the Bill quickly to require taxi and private hire vehicle drivers, operator licensees and staff to complete disability equality training. The introduction of the standards provides an opportunity to go further, however, by looking again at other accessibility standards that taxi and private hire vehicle drivers and operators are required to meet, so that the services they provide are available to everyone.
