Proceeding contribution from Lord Hanningfield (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Local Transport Bill [HL].

Local Transport Bill [HL]

My Lords, my name is also on this amendment and I give it my wholehearted support. The noble Baroness, Lady Chapman, has been tireless in her work on this matter and we all want to commend her for that. I hope that we will support her today. As the noble Lord, Lord Low, has said, this does not cause any problems to local authorities. It relates to those taxis that are able to take wheelchair passengers. As both my colleagues have just said, this is 13 years too long. I support the amendment.
