The measures that I have outlined can and will help make taxi and private hire vehicle services more accessible. Nevertheless, I fully recognise the importance of the issue that the noble Lord’s amendment seeks to address for the many wheelchair users who depend on these services. For that reason, I commit that we will consider further how we can continue to support independent mobility for all disabled passengers, including wheelchair users, while safeguarding the vital taxi and private hire vehicle services on which so many rely as part of our continuing review of taxi and private hire vehicle legislation.
