Proceeding contribution from Lord Carter (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 July 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Equality Bill [HL]..


Equality Bill [HL]

I am sure that we are all extremely grateful to the Minister for her typically full reply. On the definition of ““disability””, we could continue for another hour on the difference between the medical and social models of disability, but I shall not do that. The grouping was intended to secure a single, well focused debate on the disability issues in the Bill. We have achieved that. The noble Lord, Lord Northbourne, referred to noble Lords interested about disability matters as ““a lobby””. We are not a lobby but just a group of humble toilers in the legislative vineyard.
