Disabled People (Duties of Public Authorities) Bill

House of Commons, 28 March 2003.

Bridget Prentice (Labour, Lewisham East)

I beg to move, That the Bill be now read a Second time.

I am delighted to have so much time to speak to this important Bill, which has support from the three main political parties, as well as from disability organisations and the Disability Rights Commission. It will add to disability law, ensuring that people with disabilities are included, rather than excluded, particularly by those in the public—

Alan Haselhurst (Deputy Speaker, Saffron Walden)

Order.

It being half-past Two o'clock, the debate stood adjourned.

Debate to be resumed on Friday 16 May.
