5 Conclusions
74. There is a common theme to many of our conclusions
in this Report: we would like the Government to take a keener
interest in the detail and co-ordination of improvements to disabled
people's access to transport. This does not require new legislation,
aside from the Railways Bill which is currently before Parliament.
We have attempted to be constructive and have not called for increases
in resources. We simply believe that a firmer lead from the Government,
unfashionable though it may be, could secure more tangible results
for more disabled people more quickly than is currently the case.
It would also allow the Government to retain better control over
costs in the rail sector, which remain a matter of concern to
the Committee.
