Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 March 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Everyone will sympathise with the hon. Gentleman's point. I will ask my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport to look into that individual case and to seek a solution for it. As to whether further action needs to be taken, we want to be absolutely sure that disabled people do not suffer discrimination, whether on transport or in any other services, and whether or not it affects their opportunity to work. I hope that he will join us in supporting the further measures to tackle inequality and discrimination contained in the Equality Bill that we will introduce later this year.
