Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor John McDonnell (Labour), on Monday, 30 June 2014, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 28 members in total.


WESTMINSTER ABBEY DISABILITIES PROTEST

That this House congratulates Disabled People Against the Cuts (DPAC) and ILF Fight Back and Occupy London for their protest on 28 June 2014 occupying the grounds of Westminster Abbey and calling on the Government to halt its plans to abolish the Independent Living Fund in view of the impact this would have in undermining the potential of disabled people living independent and full lives within the community; regrets the refusal of the Dean of Westminster Abbey to even talk to the disabled protesters; but lends its support to DPAC and ILF Fightback's ongoing campaign to save the Independent Living Fund.
