National Disability Council

HC Deb 09 July 1996 vol 281 c139W

Sir Sydney Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when the National Disability Council will report on its activities during the 1995–96 financial year. [36664]

Mr. Burt

My right how Friend, the Secretary of State, has today laid before Parliament the first annual report of the National Disability Council.

The NDC has reported on its activities since it was created in January 1996 and set out what it hopes to achieve during 1996–97.

The report shows that the NDC has been influential with Government and has a proactive approach to identifying what more can be done to ending discrimination against disabled people.

Copies of the report have been placed in the Library.
