Proceeding contribution from Tom Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Disability Policy (Economic Downturn).
Disability Policy (Economic Downturn)
I am delighted that the Minister has touched on advocacy. Advocacy was at the heart of the Disabled Persons (Services, Consultation and Representation) Act 1986, and we have seen many good examples of best practice. Sometimes I worry, though, that we have not made as much progress as we might have in advocacy. I know that my hon. Friend often highlights that issue, but is it not positive, not only for the disabled person but for the advocate, to ensure that advocacy remains central to our approach?
