§ Mr. Alfred Morris (Manchester, Wythenshawe)I have the honour to present a petition urging this House to make unjustifiable discrimination against people with actual or perceived disabilities unlawful. The petition reads:
The Humble petition of people from all parts of the United Kingdom sheweth:That disabled people must have a 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 (for whatever reason) are continually having to face widespread unjustifiable discrimination;That 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.The petition is strongly endorsed by millions of others and by all the organisations of and for disabled people.To lie upon the Table.
