Disabled Air Passengers

Lord Griffiths of Burry Port Excerpts

Monday 4th December 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Davies of Gower (Con)]

At the round table hosted by my noble friend Lady Vere, there was a clear indication that there were issues with the quality of disability awareness training for staff. Anecdotal evidence suggested that staff were not aware of how to provide appropriate assistance to people with different needs, including non-visible disabilities. So there is much to do; I fully appreciate that.

[Lord Griffiths of Burry Port (Lab)]

My Lords, in view of the answer we just heard to my noble friend Lord Tunnicliffe, will the Minister, recognising that an answer to that question might be above his grade, give an undertaking to my noble friend to at least accommodate the question and go back to the person at whose grade it is, in order to see whether some kind of meeting with the noble Lord, Lord Tunnicliffe, could take place?

[Lord Davies of Gower (Con)]

I am afraid that business in the House is not within my capability.
