Written question asked by Andrew Gwynne (Labour) on Wednesday, 8 March 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 13 March 2017 (named day). It was answered by Andrew Jones (Conservative) on Monday, 13 March 2017 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Taxis: Guide Dogs
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department supports projects to enable better access to taxi and private-hire vehicles for guide-dog owners.
- Answer
-
It is essential that taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) services are accessible to everyone wishing to use them, and it is unacceptable that a minority of drivers continue to discriminate against owners of assistance dogs.
Our upcoming consultation on revised best practice for licensing authorities will include strengthened recommendations relating to authorities’ response to alleged instances of assistance dog refusal.
