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

Perhaps that was the case, and it was originally on yellow paper. If so, the Government's response would not work, because they published their responses on yellow and the Committee's questions on white, so the differentiation between the two does not work. A more serious point is that the Committee published the report in easy-read format, but my hon. Friend and his Committee have published many other reports of interest to people with learning disabilities, and this is the only one that I have seen in easy-read format. Thankfully, people with learning disabilities are now living to a grand old age, and are interested in the issues of aging, on which my hon. Friend's Committee has produced a report which, however, is not in easy-read format. They live in the same world as the rest of us, and are subject to terrorism, but the Committee's reports on the subject are not in easy-read format.
