Disability: Discrimination
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking to help end discrimination against disabled people.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
We are tackling pay discrimination through our plan to make work pay – implementing disability pay gap reporting for large employers, and enshrining in law the right to equal pay for disabled people.
On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I announced new Lead Ministers for Disability in every Government department. Working together, we will break down barriers to opportunity and fulfil the manifesto commitment to ensure the views and voices of disabled people are at the heart of everything this Government does.
