Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how the European Disability Strategy 2010–2020 and subsequent strategies will be incorporated into UK law after the UK leaves the EU.

The UK has long been a leader in disability rights, and this Government fully intends to continue ensuring that this is the case. We continue to promote good practice and implement improvements for disabled people. Additionally, we continue to be signatories to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a convention binding in international law.
