Proceeding contribution from Baroness Wilkins (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Localism Bill.

Localism Bill

My Lords, may I just add my support to this group of amendments, particularly those in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Rix? Disabled people are feeling increasingly vulnerable, and targeted by the Government’s legislative proposals. Social housing is yet another area in which their security is being undermined. Recent achievements in enabling independent living for disabled people are at risk, particularly for people with learning disability. I hope the Government will reflect over the summer and try to meet some of these concerns.
