Private Hire Charges For Wheelchair Users (EDM619)

Private Hire Charges For Wheelchair Users

EDM number 619 in 2014-15, proposed by Gerry Sutcliffe on 11/12/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Disability discrimination and Roads.

That this House notes the important campaign led by People First Keighley and Craven, and Turning Point, to stop drivers of wheelchair-accessible private hire vehicles from charging extra to carry wheelchair users; and urges the Government to bring into force section 165 of the Equality Act 2010, which states that private hire firms which have vehicles that have been designated as accessible by a local authority must carry passengers in wheelchairs without making an additional charge.

This motion has been signed by a total of 63 MPs.
