    If this is part of developing a White Paper, which is a stage in creating a new Act of Parliament, the UK government must have committed to following up on this consultation.

    Disability Rights UK is a pan disability charity set up by merging several previous UK disability organisations. It acts both as a campaign group and an information/advice service.

    Would be great if it is but I can't see anything, bar the words white paper which are in quotation marks, that implies this.

    It looks more think tank like to me - studying disability and welfare.

    Still could be an interesting project, I haven't taken the survey yet but shall do when energy allows.

    Looks like a Consultation which our group(s) should be encouraged to take part in.
    Please remind me if I don’t post it next week.....rather a lot going on at the moment!

    I've done the survey – it's quite long, especially if you have lots to say, but you can do a bit and then go back to it later. The language used is very simple, and it's possible to go through and simply tick boxes if you haven't the energy to write anything.
