The majority of Members—indeed, I hope, the whole House—recognise the urgent need to review security. The measures taken certainly have my support and that of my right hon. and hon. Friends.

To revert to the original question of my hon. Friend the Member for Islington, North (Mr. Corbyn), the right hon. Gentleman said that a number of steps have been taken. It is the number of steps which is the problem. If the House really intends to resolve the problem of access for disabled people, it should show the same urgency in dealing with that problem as it has shown on security.
