Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what guidance his Department plans to publish as a consequence of the Supreme Court judgment in FirstGroup Plc v Paulley, issued on 18 January 2017.

Buses provide an essential service for many in our communities and it is therefore vital that they are accessible to all who wish to use them.

We will consider carefully the Supreme Court’s ruling on reasonable adjustments for bus passengers in wheelchairs, and will review with disabled people and the bus industry what action may be required to ensure that they are provided.
