Business of the House

Business question from Tom Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 March 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
On the ongoing discussions about the Government's proposals on disability living allowance, may I invite the Leader of the House to consider the view expressed by the statutory body funded by the Department for Work and Pensions:"““We consider that the proposal to remove the mobility component from people in residential care should not go ahead. This measure will substantially reduce the independence of disabled people who are being cared for in residential accommodation, which goes against the stated aim of the reform of DLA to support disabled people to lead independent and active lives””." That is a crucial intervention. May we have a debate as soon as possible?
