Question:
To ask the Assembly Commission to outline what planned work it has to improve disability accessibility in Parliament Buildings.

Answer:

As noted in the reply to AQW 773/22-27, the Assembly Commission has already undertaken a considerable number of accessibility initiatives in Parliament Buildings.

While there are no current plans to carry out any additional work, the Assembly Commission’s commitment with regards to accessibility is reflected in its Disability Action Plan 2022-25 which was approved in February 2022.

The Assembly Commission will continue to give due consideration to opportunities to improve the facilities in Parliament Buildings to ensure it is accessible to everyone.
