Disabled People (Railway Station Access)

HC Deb 19 June 1990 vol 174 c475W

Mr. Bowis

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will discuss with British Rail the provision of station access for disabled people.

Mr. Freeman

The provision of facilities for disabled people at stations is the responsibility of British Rail. They pursue an active policy of making rail travel as accessible as possible to all who wish to use it. I shall be meeting the board's adviser on disability on 26 June.
