Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026

Debate

Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]

Contribution

The noble Baronesses, Lady Brinton and Lady Grey-Thompson, described how wheelchairs are not luggage; they are not suitcases. Quite so. They are clearly not, though many in this journey do not seem to appreciate that. More than that, disabled people have often said that, never mind the wheelchair, they feel like they are treated as if they are baggage. Their experience is as if they are baggage, just to be moved from one point to the next point.
