§ Ms Glenda JacksonInformal consultation on our proposals for taxis and for buses and coaches under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 has recently been completed. A large number of responses have been received from industry, from local authorities and from disability organisations. Those responses are still being analysed and the results will be incorporated in a further stage of consultation on the basis of draft regulations which will take place later in the year.
