Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking in response to the Civil Aviation Authority's 2018 report that London Gatwick, London Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester airports are not sufficiently accessible to disabled passengers.

The Department is looking at measures to improve accessibility at airports and on aircraft through our Aviation Strategy which is due to be published in 2019. This will build on the work of the CAA, which has already stepped up its compliance activity and efforts to support airports which are falling below standards, and which is working to put in place improvement plans, where necessary, so that all airports are fully accessible for disabled passengers.
