DISABILITY RIGHTS COMMISSION'S OPEN 4 ALL CAMPAIGN (EDM196)

DISABILITY RIGHTS COMMISSION'S OPEN 4 ALL CAMPAIGN

EDM number 196 in 2003-04, proposed by Roger Berry on 03/12/2003.

That this House expresses concern that seven in 10 disabled people find it difficult to use everyday services because of poor access and building design; notes that from 1st October 2004 anyone who provides a service to the public will have to make reasonable adjustments to their services to ensure that physical barriers that make it difficult for disabled people to receive fair treatment are removed; wholeheartedly supports the Disability Rights Commission's Open 4 All campaign to help businesses and service providers understand and implement these new duties introduced under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995; notes that some businesses will face significant one-off costs of improving existing premises; therefore agrees with the DRC and CBI that a specific tax allowance should be introduced to assist business with the transition and to promote a best practice approach; and urges the Government to act on this recommendation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 79 MPs.
