I am grateful to both noble Lords. I do not really have a question or a point to which to respond. I am grateful for the keen interest that noble Lords take in these matters. The DLR is one of the most accessible rail networks in this country and it is generally to be congratulated on the high threshold that it establishes in terms of accessibility. It was developed some 20 years ago and obviously things have moved on, but this exemption order is important and we plan to match as closely as possible the very high thresholds and standards that have been established for the DLR.
On Question, Motion agreed to.
