Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Feryal Clark and Grant Shapps

Tuesday 29th November 2022 Commons Chamber

[Grant Shapps]

My hon. Friend will be reassured to know that I did know that he would have a topical question, and the answer to it is yes.

[Feryal Clark (Enfield North) (Lab)]

Recently, a Premier Inn hotel in my constituency threw out one of their visually impaired guests, Ms Angharad Paget-Jones, and her guide dog Tudor in the middle of the night because they refused to believe, despite being shown identification, that Tudor was a guide dog. Can the Minister tell me what action his Department is taking not only to ensure that businesses are complying with the Equality Act 2010, but to go after those who show frank disregard for it in practice?
