LEARNING DISABLILTY TASK FORCE

That this House congratulates the Learning Disability Taskforce upon producing its Second Annual Report on the Valuing People White Paper, which was launched in Parliament on 26th February; notes with concern its finding that the Government has not produced a version of the draft Disability Discrimination Bill which is accessible to those with learning disabilities; and calls upon the Government to quickly rectify this and not to repeat the mistake of the NHS consultation Fair for All, Personal to You which only became available in accessible form for people with learning disabilities two weeks before the deadline for comments and so was not fair for all.
