42. Mr. Tom Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what recent discussions he has had with the chairman of British Rail on travelling conditions on trains for disabled people; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Mitchell

My officials have regular discussions with British Rail about the Transport needs of disabled people. We are also staging a major international conference on 1 and 2 December to review and discuss the transport needs of disabled people. European transport operators, including British Rail, will be taking part.
