answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2017 answer text <p>We do not hold this information. The Equality Act 2010 – which applies to England and Wales - requires that ‘reasonable adjustments’ are made by service providers, which include the owners of sports stadia, to make premises accessible for disabled people. It is for individual clubs to determine what adjustments are ‘reasonable’ taking into account their own circumstances. Structural changes are not always necessary to make sports grounds accessible to spectators with disabilities. Clubs and stadia owners can also change policies and procedures to make their grounds more accessible for disabled spectators.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 27/04/2017 10:07:24 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
