§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action is now proposed to implement the provisions of the Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons adopted with the support of Her Majesty's Government by the General Assembly of the United Nations in December 1975.
§ Mr. Alfred MorrisThe broad aims of the declaration are in accord with those already underlying policy in this country in relation to physically and mentally disabled people. We have also gone a very long way towards meeting its specific provisions. Nevertheless there is still much to do in improving both the quality of life and status of disabled people. The Government are strongly committed to this aim.
