Proceeding contribution from Viscount Slim (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [HL].

Public Bodies Bill [HL]

My Lords, I speak because of my work with veterans. I remind the Minister, if he needs reminding, that a veteran can be an old fellow like me or he can be a young man of 18 or 19 with no legs. There are many people who use wheelchairs, who are blind or who are otherwise incapacitated. Having listened to what has been said, I wonder if the Government have really thought this problem through. I have to say that, until I hear the noble Lord speak, I support the noble Lord, Lord Low, and the others very much in what has been said so far. I am not sure that the Government have really gripped this problem.
