HC Deb 15 June 1990 vol 174 c591

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.
