Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will consult on the recreation of the Disability Rights Commission with all its previous powers and under the auspices of the DWP.

We are committed to supporting all disabled people to live independent lives, and to reach their full potential in a modern and inclusive society. This includes ensuring disabled people are engaged with all decisions that concern them.

We have no current plans to consult to recreate the Disability Human Rights Commission as this role is now exercised by the government funded, Equality and Human Rights Commission which replaced the Disability Rights Commission in 2007.
