Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

The Speaker's Conference, which considers the under-representation of minorities in this place and in wider public life, thankfully has a specific section that deals with the woefully low level of people with disabilities who are elected here and elsewhere. How will the Bill tie in with the Speaker's Conference, and can my right hon. and learned Friend point to specific elements of it that will tackle the number of people with disabilities in wider public life?
