"Mr President, Members will know – and have been very concerned recently – that nine blind passengers were thrown off a Ryanair flight because the captain said that the limit to the number of disabled people was four per flight. Yet every major airline in the European Union has a completely different policy. This has made life for disabled passengers unbearable.
Campaigners in my constituency have also spoken about access to goods and services; the fact that in each Member State, including in western Europe, the treatment is completely different for the owners of guide dogs, for example. While a lot of good work has been done in this place, we should be aware that these concerns are bubbling under the surface. Recent press stories have revealed many thousands of people involved in NGOs who want to see us do better.
Finally, closer to home, we must ensure that we have inclusive design for our new Parliament buildings. Much good work has been done in this area, but we must emphasise it because it will come back to haunt us if we do not get it right. I hope we will."@en1
