To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what survey has been made of the access available for disabled people to travel on London underground; and if he will make a statement.

The unit for disabled passengers at London Transport works closely with London Underground Ltd.—LUL—and representatives of people with disabilities on improvements in access to the underground system. A guide is produced by the unit which gives information on access at all stations.LUL has also recently commissioned a report on safety aspects of wheelchair users travelling in deep sections of the system, and that report is currently under discussion with the railway inspectorate.
