Taxi accessibility for disabled people

That this House recognises the need for improved access to taxi services for wheelchair users; expresses concern that many local authorities fail to ensure that Hackney Carriage fleets include sufficient fully accessible vehicles, leaving some wheelchair users unable to travel independently to work, medical appointments, education or social activities; supports the findings of the 2025 Transport Committee Access Denied report; calls on the Government to issue strengthened guidance to all local authorities on meeting accessibility obligations within taxi licensing; recognises the work of charities and advocacy groups such as Disability Action Yorkshire to highlight inequalities in access; and further calls for an urgent review of enforcement, consultation, and monitoring processes to ensure no disabled person is left without basic, reliable transport.
