"Local authorities regularly break laws setting minimum standards of service to disabled people. "Disabled children can be forced to live in institutions where every decision is made for them by people over whom they have no control.

Lord Ashley called the Government Cost Compliance Assessment "the worst quality document to come out of the Civil Service for many years". cont.. Next Page Read Hear Religion Next Page
P718 CEEFAX 718 Sat 19 Nov 15:01/26 READHEAR TUE AGENDA BYTERRYRUANE 6/6 DISABILITY — A DIFFERENT AGENDA The measures outlined in the (Government) consultation document do not constitute an acceptable substitute for the Civil Rights Bill. Little or nothing is said about transport, education, training or civil and political rights. It is insulting that the Government does not think that disabled people deserve the same protection from discrimination as black people and women.
