Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 December 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The rights and opportunities of, and support for, people with disabilities are very much part of the Government's legislative programme, in particular the Equality Bill and the public sector duty on all public authorities to support the inclusion of people with disabilities, protect them from discrimination and ensure that they have the right levels of support. As for my hon. Friend's question about ratification, I will ensure that the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions writes to him about that.
