Speech and Language Disorders
Asked by: Baroness Whitaker (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 28th January 2025 Question To ask His Majesty's Government what guidance they have issued on which speech, language and communication difficulties (1) count, and (2) do not count, as a disability within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010. Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Government has not released specific guidance on what is defined as a disability, as every case is different. However the Equality Act 2010 clearly sets out what is included as a disability. namely as “a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a person’s ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.” The Act describes “long-term” as where an impairment has lasted, or is likely to last for at least 12 months, or where the impairment is likely to last for the rest of a person’s life. “Substantial” is defined as an impairment that is more than minor or trivial.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission’s guidance provides greater clarity on the broad definition of disability which can be found here https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a80dcc8ed915d74e6230df4/Equality_Act_2010-disability_definition.pdf |

Tidal Power
Asked by: Baroness Whitaker (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 29th January 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the role of wave and tidal energy in the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s Clean Power 2030 Action Plan. Answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government expects tidal stream to play a role in the 2030 energy mix, with even more potential to help meet the UK’s longer-term decarbonisation objectives beyond 2030.
Wave energy technologies have promise and the Government is closely monitoring the strides being made by the sector. These technologies are currently at the research and design (R&D) stage and may still have an important role to play in the UK energy system post-2030. |
