Proceeding contribution from Lord Morris of Manchester (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform Green Paper.

Welfare Reform Green Paper

My Lords, can we be assured that Ministers will be keeping in close rapport with both disability organisations and the Disability Rights Commission at all stages of the consultative process as it proceeds? I reinforce what my noble friend Lady Hollis of Heigham said about employers. Is there not a very strong onus on them to do more to help, clearly employing disabled people who are now unemployed and seeking jobs, and on the department to improve employers’ attitudes to the employment of disabled people?
