§ Mr. Andrew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the remit of the Government's interdepartmental committee on disability injuries; what information it has published; and if it accepts representations from the public.
§ Mr. HagueThe inter-departmental group on disability provides a forum for officials from Government Departments to co-ordinate work on policy and operational issues affecting disabled people.
Sub-groups involving officials and representation of voluntary organisations have been set up to consider particular issues.
The group itself has not received representation from the public or published information. Representations should be made to the relevant Minister, who will ensure that they are given appropriate consideration.
