If she will set a national minimum standard for disability equality training for taxi and private hire vehicles.

The Government keeps all policies under review and is aware that disabled people continue to report facing inadequate or discriminatory treatment when using taxis and private hire vehicles (PHVs).  We recognise the need for quality disability awareness training and the latest guidance issued to all licensing authorities in England confirms our expectation that all drivers undergo such training. The Government continues to consider how to improve the regulation of the sector to enable the provision of safe and accessible services that meet a wide range of passenger needs.
