MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY CAMPAIGN AND THE TRAILBLAZERS REPORT

Early day motion 1419, tabled 5 May 2009 by Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 52 members.

That this House welcomes the launch of a hard-hitting report by Trailblazers revealing that young disabled people face a more limited choice when travelling by public transport and pay more for the privilege; notes that this reduces independence and quality of life; commends Trailblazers on their very first campaign; further notes that Trailblazers is the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign's new exciting v-funded young campaigners' network which will turn the aspirations of young disabled people into action; and calls on the Government, local authorities and transport providers to act on the recommendations of Trailblazers and undertake a major review of accessibility policies.

Signatures by party: Labour 30, Liberal Democrat 11, DUP 5, Conservative 2, Independent 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1, UUP 1.
