Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Gerry Sutcliffe (Labour), on Thursday, 11 December 2014, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 63 members in total.


PRIVATE HIRE CHARGES FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS

That this House notes the important campaign led by People First Keighley and Craven, and Turning Point, to stop drivers of wheelchair-accessible private hire vehicles from charging extra to carry wheelchair users; and urges the Government to bring into force section 165 of the Equality Act 2010, which states that private hire firms which have vehicles that have been designated as accessible by a local authority must carry passengers in wheelchairs without making an additional charge.
