On Amendment 220P, the UK is failing to meet its international legal obligations under the UNCRPD and statutory involvement is required to comply. Article 4.3 requires the UK to consult and actively involve disabled people. Article 9 requires the UK to take appropriate measures to ensure that disabled people have equal access to the physical environment and transport. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has found that, despite some improvements, disabled people continue to face difficulties in accessing public transport and that further measures are needed.
