LEEDS VOLUNTARY SECTOR LEARNING DISABILITIES FORUM

Early day motion 1993, tabled 23 June 2011 by Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 16 members.

That this House commends the work that Tenfold, the Leeds Voluntary Sector Learning Disabilities Forum and Mencap carries out; notes the successes that adults with learning disabilities achieved in their recent `take over' in January of the Leeds City Council chamber, and their visit to the Houses of Parliament as part of National Learning Disability Week 2011 and Mencap's Stand By Me campaign, where they addressed and challenged hon. Members; acknowledges the unacceptable exclusion of those with learning disabilities from the democratic process and civil society; and welcomes the work of Tenfold in addressing this issue and wishes them continuing success in carrying out such important work.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
