Finally, the CAA has to have real enforcement power. We need to be at the stage of imposing substantial and specific financial penalties in the cases of repeated and systematic accessibility failures. There also needs to be a disability impact assessment before the CAA publishes a notice of its intention to implement a new regulation. There are so many things that we can do in this space. Accessibility should not be a favour granted to us. It should not be something we have to beg for; it is a fundamental right. It is now time to restore the confidence and dignity that disabled passengers deserve when travelling. I beg to move.
