Petitions

Tom Blenkinsop Excerpts

Wednesday 21st November 2012 Commons Chamber

[Tom Blenkinsop (Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland) (Lab)]

The petition states:

To the House of Commons,

The Petition of members of the National League of the Blind and Disabled and of residents of Teesside,

Declares that the Petitioners believe that the Welfare Reform Act and the abolition of the Disability Living Allowance will adversely affect disabled people, including disabled workers at Ayresome Industries on Teesside. The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to review and reverse welfare reform and cuts to service that disproportionately hit disabled people.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
