Leeds Voluntary Sector Learning Disabilities Forum

EDM number 1993 in 2010-12, proposed by Greg Mulholland on 23/06/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Disability discrimination and Voluntary organisations.

That this House commends the work that Tenfold, the Leeds Voluntary Sector Learning Disabilities Forum and Mencap carries out; notes the successes that adults with learning disabilities achieved in their recent `take over' in January of the Leeds City Council chamber, and their visit to the Houses of Parliament as part of National Learning Disability Week 2011 and Mencap's Stand By Me campaign, where they addressed and challenged hon. Members; acknowledges the unacceptable exclusion of those with learning disabilities from the democratic process and civil society; and welcomes the work of Tenfold in addressing this issue and wishes them continuing success in carrying out such important work.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
