Proceeding contribution from Lord Blunkett (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
Will my right hon. Friend reassure those inside and outside the House who have been campaigning for a higher mobility component in the disability living allowance for those with little or no sight? As he said during his eloquent description of the young man in Barnsley, people must not be trapped in their homes but be enabled to prepare for work by engaging again with society, being able to leave their homes safely and having equality with other similar groups.
