WEB ACCESS AND INCLUSION FOR DISABLED PEOPLE

Early day motion 1167, tabled 11 May 2004 by Brian White (Labour). Signed by 85 members.

That this House welcomes the publication of the Disability Rights Commission's formal investigation into web access; notes with concern the finding that 81 per cent. of websites fail to meet minimum standards for disabled web access; believes equal access to online services and employment opportunities to be essential to full social inclusion for disabled people; and urges the Government to accept and act on the investigation's recommendations as soon as possible.
