The Deputy will appreciate that interpretation of the law in relation to a particular subject matter is not a function of mine in relation to a Parliamentary Question. However, the Deputy may be interested to learn that the obligation to make buildings accessible as set out in the Disability Act 2005 refers only to public bodies. The premises which are referred to in this instance do not therefore come under the scope of this legislation.
