Baroness Merron (Lab)
The role of advocacy is extremely important. I take on board what the noble Baroness is saying.
Baroness Bull (CB)
My Lords, can the Minister say what the Government are doing to persuade employers of the value of employing a diverse workforce, including those with learning disabilities?
Baroness Merron (Lab)
I would be pleased to get some specific detail, but I agree with the noble Baroness—there are huge benefits both ways, as was said earlier. We are keen to promote and support this, to get as many people into employment as possible, and to let employers benefit. I will gladly write to the noble Baroness.
