SUITABLE HOUSING FOR DISABLED PEOPLE

Early day motion 173, tabled 1 December 2003 by Anne Begg (Labour). Signed by 101 members.

That this House congratulates the disability charity, John Grooms, on its latest initiative to highlight the shortage of suitable homes for physically disabled people, particularly wheelchair users; notes the findings of the recent John Grooms survey that a significant number of physically disabled people live in homes that are not suited to their needs, thus undermining their right to independence; and urges Her Majesty's Government to give a greater priority to ensuring that every physically disabled person can live in a home which is accessible, suitably-equipped and well-located for essential amenities, work and family.
