Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 25 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Disabled Persons (Independent Living) Bill [HL].


Disabled Persons (Independent Living) Bill [HL]

My Lords, I wholeheartedly associate the Government Benches with the sorrow expressed by noble Lords at the untimely death of our friend and colleague, Lady Darcy de Knayth. I know that she will be very much missed across the House—her work, her laugh, her attitude and the enormous amount of work she did on behalf of many causes. I will miss her because of her personal kindness and friendship to me in the 10 years I have been in the House. I know that I am expressing the view that all of us feel at this time.
