Dan Jarvis – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Dan Jarvis on 2016-01-22.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans are in place to provide more step-free access at London Underground stations.

Mr Robert Goodwill

Transport is a devolved matter in London and therefore the responsibility of the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL).

In October 2014 the Mayor announced an extra £76 million partnership fund for step-free access schemes where contributions can be found from developers and other third parties, including the boroughs. TfL is carrying out a review of all accessible information, and will be working with disabled people, and the organisations that represent them, to ensure their feedback is incorporated into any improvements.
