(asked on 6th February 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (Disabled Persons) Act 2022 in ensuring that disabled people are able to access (a) taxis and (b) other private hire vehicles.
This question was answered on 14th February 2023
The duties introduced by the Taxi and Private Hire Vehicles (Disabled Persons) Act 2022 only came into force in June 2022, and it is too early to assess their impact.
We will monitor the effectiveness of the 2022 Act through engagement with stakeholders and the regular reviewing of relevant statistics.
