I welcome his commitments to take action in this area. However, given what he has just said, I cannot see any difficulty with his accepting this amendment. The provision rightly states “to promote access to and the availability and affordability of small public service vehicles by persons with disabilities”. Amendment No. 6 proposes to insert an explicit reference to the need to support and facilitate drivers to provide such a service. This support could include changing specifications but would have to involve some incentive, grant, or, as has been suggested, exemption from vehicle registration tax, VRT. I cannot see why the Minister will not accept my amendment.
