Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Chapman (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) on Tuesday, 18 December 2007.


Disabled People: Taxis

Question
When Sections 32 to 36 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (taxi accessibility regulations) will be brought into force.
Answer

My Lords, the Government remain committed to delivering more accessible taxis. In light of the Government’s better regulation agenda, Ministers are re-evaluating all the options, both regulatory and non-regulatory. We will be announcing our proposals early in the new year. In the mean time, we are encouraging taxi licensing authorities to ensure that local policies take full account of the needs of all taxi users.
