The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with the Welsh Government on supporting improved access to transport for disabled people across Wales.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The government is committed to improving public transport services, so they are more inclusive and enable disabled people to travel safely, confidently and with dignity. As part of this Government’s broader mission to break down barriers to opportunity, we recognise that more needs to be done to ensure transport is accessible to all right across Great Britain. The Department for Transport has discussions with counterparts in the Welsh Government on a variety of issues, including the accessibility of local transport.
