European Communities (Definition of Treaties) (United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) Order 2009

On that latter point, I am well aware that the Equality Bill is now with us and I have no doubt that several noble Lords will be actively engaged on that, pressing some of the points that they have raised today. I understand the point that the noble Lord is making about the quest for some form of document that lists all the UK provisions and matches them against the convention. I doubt whether that would be a short document; rather, I imagine that it would be extensive. That does not necessarily argue against it being produced, but the fact that we are supporting the signing and ratification of the convention, given our starting proposition, means that that work has been undertaken, although I accept that it has not necessarily been fully visible.
