My Lords, regulations protect the rights of disabled people and all passengers with reduced mobility travelling by air. The regulations require that assistance to meet their particular needs should be provided at the airport, as well as on board aircraft, by employing the necessary staff and supplying equipment. Currently, the regulations do not specify the provision of particular equipment, but the aviation strategy green paper will consider how to improve the experience of disabled passengers throughout their journey.

A Green Paper is a tentative report of British government proposals without any commitment to action. Green papers may result in the production of a white paper.
