World Down Syndrome Day

Proceeding contribution from Jo Gideon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 March 2023. It occurred during Backbench debate on World Down Syndrome Day.

I absolutely do pay tribute to them. I cannot see them in the Public Gallery, but it is wonderful that they are here to listen to the debate and to hear all the support there is for them in the House.

Support in decision making is really good. We all need help from people who know us and want the best for us. But people should have the right to make the final decision, the right to dignity and individuality, and the right to be in control of their lives.
