(asked on 7th March 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with bus companies on priority wheelchair spaces on buses.
This question was answered on 15th March 2016
The Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations (PSVAR) 2000 require all affected vehicles to incorporate a designated space suitable for a reference wheelchair.
The use of the wheelchair space is currently the subject of a case at the Supreme Court however. As such Ministers are unable to discuss it with bus operators.
