Labour (Co-op) — Wakefield and Rothwell

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 January 2025

Debate

Public Transport Accessibility

Contribution

We want a transport system for everyone, in which accessibility is designed as standard across the network so that we can make it easier for people to get on and off services, and build a safe and more secure network, particularly for women and girls. It is the Government’s ambition for disabled people to have equal access to transport, recognising the needs of people with visible and less visible conditions, and I would be more than happy to meet my hon. Friend.
