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

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for referring to the debate on the Autism Bill last Friday. I did not manage to make my speech—I hasten to add that I intended to speak only for 10 or 15 minutes. The Bill has a human rights context and a lot of the issues that it seeks to address are similar to those we found in the inquiry. That point was not made in last Friday's debate, but I have been able to make it much more briefly now.
