Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking in response to the recent conclusions by the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that the UK has not done enough to ensure that the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities are reflected in UK law and policy.

The UK already has some of the strongest equalities legislation in the world, such the Equality Act 2010, and we will continue to make sure that these rights are protected.

We have already responded to many points through our written response to a list of issues and a face-to-face dialogue with the UN Committee that oversees the Convention.

We are currently reflecting on how we take forward the concluding observations, and are carefully considering our approach, which we will discuss with stakeholders in due course.
