This means disabled people cannot reliably know whether a room will meet their needs before booking.\r\n\r\nRooms described as accessible vary widely. In some cases, rooms lack sufficient space for wheelchair users, include unsuitable bathroom facilities such as baths instead of level-access showers, or have fixtures positioned in ways that make them unusable.\r\n\r\nThis creates unnecessary barriers, reduces independence, and undermines the intention of the Equality Act 2010.\r\n\r\nA clear classification system would improve transparency, allow informed choice, and support consistent standards across the hospitality industry.","committee_note":null,"state":"open","signature_count":51,"closing_date":"2026-11-11","created_at":"2026-04-16T13:50:40.586Z","updated_at":"2026-05-17T23:03:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-05-11T17:00:43.705Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-04-16T15:54:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Deborah Cox","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"BT","name":"Department for Business and Trade","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-business-and-trade"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":51}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Birmingham Selly Oak","ons_code":"E14001099","mp":"Al Carns MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bolsover","ons_code":"E14001109","mp":"Natalie Fleet MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bromsgrove","ons_code":"E14001138","mp":"Bradley Thomas MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Buckingham and Bletchley","ons_code":"E14001141","mp":"Callum Anderson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Christchurch","ons_code":"E14001171","mp":"Sir Christopher Chope MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Derby South","ons_code":"E14001194","mp":"Baggy Shanker MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Droitwich and Evesham","ons_code":"E14001203","mp":"Nigel Huddleston MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"East Worthing and Shoreham","ons_code":"E14001218","mp":"Tom Rutland MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Filton and Bradley Stoke","ons_code":"E14001237","mp":"Claire Hazelgrove MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Frome and East Somerset","ons_code":"E14001241","mp":"Anna Sabine MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Lowestoft","ons_code":"E14001344","mp":"Jess Asato MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton South and South Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001346","mp":"Rachel Hopkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Maidenhead","ons_code":"E14001348","mp":"Mr Joshua Reynolds MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mid Buckinghamshire","ons_code":"E14001360","mp":"Greg Smith MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newton Abbot","ons_code":"E14001381","mp":"Martin Wrigley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Redditch","ons_code":"E14001441","mp":"Chris Bloore MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Rochester and Strood","ons_code":"E14001447","mp":"Lauren Edwards MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South Holland and The Deepings","ons_code":"E14001487","mp":"Rt Hon Sir John Hayes MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"South Shropshire","ons_code":"E14001493","mp":"Stuart Anderson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Taunton and Wellington","ons_code":"E14001540","mp":"Gideon Amos MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"The Wrekin","ons_code":"E14001543","mp":"Rt Hon Mark Pritchard MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"West Worcestershire","ons_code":"E14001579","mp":"Dame Harriett Baldwin MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Wyre Forest","ons_code":"E14001601","mp":"Mark Garnier MP","signature_count":18},{"name":"York Central","ons_code":"E14001604","mp":"Rachael Maskell MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":1},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":3},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":30},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":2},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":1},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":6},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":6}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
