I will give one quick example. For years, card payment machines were accessible and able to be used independently by all members of the community; then, flat screen card payment machines came out, which are inaccessible and unusable for me and for huge swathes of our community. What redress has there been? Nothing. It would be on us to bring a case under equalities legislation. Why should it be the person on the wrong end of exclusion who has to suffer that and then to bring the case themselves? What a great thing this Government could do—through consultation and a national conversation—by bringing about an “inclusive by design” standard. I look forward to the Minister’s response. I beg to move.
