Baroness Kramer
The Government are still working on their response to the extensive report from the Law Commission and that is one of the recommendations that must be addressed in the reply. I remind the House that there will be post-legislative scrutiny in the next Session of the disability provisions in the Equality Act. There are several ways of tackling these problems.
Lord Low of Dalston (CB)
My Lords, did the Minister’s instructions to her officials and the ensuing discussions cover the carriage of disabled people using assistance dogs?
Baroness Kramer
My Lords, we have commenced the relevant sections 168 to 171 of the Equality Act, which cover assistance guide dogs.
