HC Deb 08 December 1992 vol 215 cc818-9 11.55 pm
Mr. Bill Olner (Nuneaton)

I beg to ask leave to present a petition which reads: To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament Assembled. The Humble Petition of the citizens of Nuneaton showeth: That disabled people must have the right to the same equality of opportunity in all aspects of their daily life as non-disabled people; that people who are disabled or perceived to be disabled continually have to face widespread unjustifiable discrimination; and that legislation is necessary to outlaw this unjustifiable discrimination. Wherefore your petitioners pray that your honourable House introduce legislation to outlaw this discrimination against disabled people as soon as possible. And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray etc. I sincerely hope that the sense of feeling expressed in the 239-signature petition against the discrimination of disabled people will be fully taken into account when my right hon. Friend the Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe (Mr. Morris) introduces his private Member's Bill.

To lie upon the Table.
