I will support the amendment if it is pressed. The Government is overburdened with working groups, which delay reform across many areas of disability. In many cases, it is bureaucracy talking to bureaucracy. This is a simple amendment to direct local authorities to do what they should do anyway. It would have positive effects for those who need access. I do not know why a working group is needed to do something relatively simple. If local authorities are directed by law to do it, they have enough staff to change their polling schemes quickly and appropriately. A complex working group is not needed to address the area. I support the amendment and consider that it should be pressed.
