The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the Babies on Buses campaigning mums on winning the Campaign of the Year Award at the 2009 Herald Society Awards in association with the Big Lottery Fund; recalls that the Babies on Buses campaign group was established when Lothian Buses refused access to anyone attempting to travel with an unfoldable pram or travel system; considers that the campaign has wide public, political, organisational and charity support and notes that it has been considered by the Public Petitions Committee; welcomes the move by Lothian Buses to trial pink-top buses that have a dedicated wheelchair space as well as a dedicated buggy or pram space, and calls on Lothian Buses to extend the pink-top pram-accessible buses to all services as soon as practicable, thus ensuring that it offers equal access for all.
