HC Deb 10 June 1985 vol 80 cc372-3W
29. Mr. Gregory

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what steps are being taken to improve mobility for disabled people.

Mrs. Chalker

We have a continuing programme of measures to improve mobility for disabled people. This includes drawing up standards and guidelines, research and development, publicity and a wide range of other activities. All our work is done in close consultation with disabled people.

One major event, to which I should like to draw the attention of the House, is the "Mobility Roadshow", a motor show for disabled people which my department will be running for the second time on June 13, 14 and 15 at the transport and road research laboratory at Crowthorne in Berkshire. I hope many hon. Members will be able to find the time to visit the show and see the wide range of developments in this field.
