Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 22 February (HL5381 and HL5409), when (1) the draft Accessibility Action Plan, and (2) the consultation on revised best practice guidance for licensing authorities, will be published.


This question was answered on 16th March 2017

This government plans to publish the draft Accessibility Action Plan for consultation in the spring.

The Department for Transport is currently reviewing the Best Practice Guidance issued to licensing authorities alongside new Statutory Guidance under section 177 of the Policing and Crime Act 2017. The Statutory Guidance will focus on safeguarding measures to protect children and vulnerable adults when using these services. We intend to consult on both of these documents later this year.
