§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to support proposals at the forthcoming intergovernmental conference to safeguard the needs of disabled people; and if he will make a statement. [20799]
§ Mr. David DavisWe are committed to safeguarding the needs of disabled people and have taken positive action in this area with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. We believe that the best way of effectively dealing with the problem of discrimination against disabled people is through strong national legislation of this kind.
