Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (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

The short answer is that we do not have the money in the Select Committee budget to do that. That is exactly the point that I raised in a question to the Leader of the House today: we should be doing more of that in relation to everything that is of relevance to people with learning disabilities. I also made one or two points about other disability issues, such as the need for sign language interpreters for people who are hard of hearing. My hon. Friend is making a valid point, and if we had the money we would do what he suggests.
