Proceeding contribution from Tulip Siddiq (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2016. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Independent Living: Disabled People.
Independent Living: Disabled People
I thank my hon. Friend for her intervention. I have seen real-life instances of what she describes in my constituency. I agree that we need to do more to ensure that Transport for London makes both buses and tube stations more accessible. Indeed, only 4% of
the tube stations in London have full wheelchair access. I am proud to say that our station here in Westminster has full wheelchair access, but there needs to be a focus on that all across London.
