My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for his Answer. Can the Government guarantee that they will implement the regulations by the Summer Recess? These sections could then be enforceable for taxis that are already licensed to carry wheelchair users.

My Lords, it is not customary to give such a precise timetable although I would dearly love to be able to do so. We will be making an announcement early in the new year which I am sure the noble Baroness will welcome. It will enable further positive steps to be taken towards ensuring that we have a more all embracing taxi service which is accessible to all members of society and, in particular, is fit for purpose for assisting those with a disability.

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.

My Lords, the current draft of the convention includes an obligation to take measures to protect persons with disabilities from all forms of exploitation, violence and abuse. We understand that the meaning of ““all persons with disabilities”” includes children. The draft convention also includes obligations to ensure that all persons with disabilities have equal access to inclusive education and that they receive the educational support they require. I assure the House that the Government fully support the inclusion of those obligations.
