Proceeding contribution from Stephen Ladyman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Adults with Learning Disabilities.
Adults with Learning Disabilities
Does my hon. Friend share my wish to advertise more the positive impact of the Human Rights Act, particularly for people who need care services? There are myriad examples of people who have been abused or denied proper services—older people, people with disabilities and people with learning disabilities—and who have been able to restore their rights because of the Human Rights Act. It is ridiculed in many areas of the press and we should advertise its successes far more widely.
