§ Mr. Robert Maclennan (Caithness and Sutherland)I wish to present a petition from residents of the communities of Wick, Keiss, Halkirk, Spittal, Watten, Lyth, Dunnet, Castletown, Reay and Thurso in Caithness. Their concern is that disabled people must have the right to the same equality of opportunity in all aspects of their daily life as non-disabled people. The petition states:
people who are disabled or perceived to be disabled (for whatever reason) are continually having to face widespread unjustifiable discrimination … legislation is necessary to outlaw this discrimination.Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House introduce legislation to outlaw unjustifiable discrimination against people with actual or perceived disabilities as soon as possible.And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.
§ To lie upon the Table.
