George Howarth – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by George Howarth on 2016-01-18.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what requirements are placed on sports stadia to provide wheelchair access.

David Evennett

The provisions in the Equality Act 2010 require providers of services to the public, such as a sports stadium, to make a ‘reasonable adjustment’ so that disabled people are not placed at a “substantial disadvantage” compared to non-disabled people, and this includes the provision of wheelchair access.
