uin	14077
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2024 answer text <p>The responsibility for taxi accessibility policy in Northern Ireland is devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive. We recognise that the provision of wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs) in taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) fleets in England, however, varies considerably between areas, and that in some it may be inadequate to satisfy demand from wheelchair users. We also recognise that WAVs are difficult for some people to use and may not provide a universally accessible solution. In November we published best practice guidance for local licensing authorities in England, recommending they licence a mixed fleet of vehicles, whilst ensuring that WAV provision is sufficient to meet demand. We also propose to publish a Call for Evidence, seeking to understand the barriers that disabled taxi and PHV users face and options for addressing them.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 22/02/2024 15:29:37 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
