HC Deb 26 June 1997 vol 296 c637W
27. Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment when his Department's review of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 will be completed. [4119]

Mr. Alan Howarth

Our manifesto commits us to supporting "comprehensive, enforceable civil rights" for disabled people. We are consulting interested parties on the best way to achieve this and we shall develop proposals in the light of our discussions.

An announcement about how we intend to proceed will be made after we have had an opportunity to consider the views put to us at these initial meetings.
