§ 9.34 am.
§ Robert G. Hughes (Harrow, West)I wish to present a petition from Mr. Keith Armstrong of the London Dial-a-Ride Users Association and 38,000 Londoners, who petition the House as follows:
The London Dial-a-Ride Users Association considers: That the opportunity for people with disabilities to travel on affordable public transport is a basic human right.That door-to-door transport sytems for people with disabilities (such as Dial-a-Ride, Taxicard, Community Transport etc.) will always have an important role to play in any public transport mix.Those who drew up the petition have provided much-needed transport and freedom for many people who could never venture outside their door before the advent of dial-a-ride and disabled access transport. They recognise the work that has been done, and petition the House and the Government for more to be done in the future.
§ To lie upon the Table.
