Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Roger Berry (Labour), on Tuesday, 17 December 1996, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 116 members in total.
LOBBIES BY DISABLED PEOPLE
That this House regrets the difficulties encountered by disabled people who lobbied Parliament on 2nd December 1996; recognises that meetings are an important part of the lobbying process; does not believe that a platform lift to enable access to a meeting in the Grand Committee Room was an adequate alternative to the use of a public address system in Westminster Hall; and therefore calls on the House authorities to allow public address systems to be used in Westminster Hall for future lobbies by disabled people.
