Disabled Transport At Rail Stations And Airports
EDM number 294 in 2008-09, proposed by David Maclean on 15/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Aviation, Equality and Railways.
That this House believes that the method of transporting disabled passengers at railway stations and airports is embarrassing and demeaning to those passengers; considers that there is no need to use an over-sized electric buggy with an orange flashing light and horn constantly sounding in order to warn other passengers that disabled people are in transit; and calls on Network Rail and the British Airports Authority urgently to investigate other ways of moving disabled passengers around airports and railway stations which ensure the safety of all other passengers but are more discreet and less humiliating than the present method.
This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
