To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to the Answer of 28 October 2008, Official Report, column 837W, on public transport: visually impaired, if his Department will instigate collections of data on the number of visually impaired people injured whilst using public transport; and if he will make a statement. (235654)

There are no plans to instigate collection of such data. Any such collection would place a burden on public transport providers as well as presenting practical difficulties in ensuring the collection of reliable and comparable information.
