    Transport accessibility for disabled people: debate in Parliament

    On 26 March, MPs debated transport accessibility for disabled people.

    This was a Backbench Business debate led by Ruth Cadbury MP. Transport Minister Keir Mather MP responded on behalf of the Government.

    Explainer

    Backbench Business debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.

    They are a way to:

    • raise awareness of an issue
    • seek to influence government policy
    • put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.

    They do not generally involve a vote on a particular action or decision.

    See our visual explainer on how these debates work.
