Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 13 May 2021 to Question 1178, if he will increase the rate to 100 per cent of journeys.

We are committed to improving rail access for all disabled passengers. By 2030, the Department’s ambition is to have equal access for disabled people using the transport system, with assistance if physical infrastructure remains a barrier.

In addition to the measures set out in the recent rail reform White Paper, I will be bidding for further rounds of funding for Access for All schemes in the forthcoming Spending Review.
