<p>The Government is committed to improving the rights of disabled people when accessing
and using transport. Though Government cannot currently comment on the Law Commission’s
proposals as it continues to scrutinise the report, we are implementing measures to
improve the transport rights of disabled people. These include sections 165 and 167
of the Equality Act 2010, and a strengthening of Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Best
Practice Guidance for local authorities, both of which are expected in 2017.</p>
