This question was answered on 19th January 2021
It is the Government’s ambition to see more disabled people in public office.
The EnAble Fund for Elected Office opened in December 2018 and closed in March 2020. The Government has been clear that the responsibility for supporting disabled candidates sits with political parties.
An evaluation of the EnAble Fund is due to be published shortly.
