HC Deb 18 April 1994 vol 241 c373W
Mr. McMaster

To ask The Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the need for comprehensive anti-discrimination legislation for disabled people.

The Prime Minister

[holding answer 15 April 1994]: On a number of occasions, I have not only made clear my support for the principle of seeking to eliminate discrimination against people with disabilities, but also my reservations on the detailed practicalities of the present approach to comprehensive legislation. None the less, I shall of course want to see and consider the results of the deliberations of the Standing Committee on the Civil Rights (Disabled Persons) Bill.
