On 3 March, Jonathan Shaw, Minister for Disabled People, announced that the parliamentary process for the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities had begun.
In a statement delivered to the House, he recognised this was an 'important step' and, linking the process to the UK's signing of the Optional Protocol, he continued:
"Together, these two actions send out a very strong signal – the Government is serious about achieving equality of human rights for disabled people and is making real progress towards its goal of disability equality by 2025. "
