Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure compliance with requirements set out in the Supreme Court judgment on 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.
