Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether he plans to consult on introducing mandatory accessibility information standards for businesses to support disabled consumers and help businesses.

My department currently has no plans to consult on introducing mandatory accessibility information standards for businesses. Businesses should treat all their customers fairly.

The Equality Act 2010 protects people from discrimination in wider society. The Office for Equalities and Opportunities has published guidance on GOV.UK to help businesses in specific sectors to comply with their obligations under the Act.
