I see what the Deputy is up to. We must push forward to ensure that more people with disabilities can go forward and get involved in politics and lobbying but the Referendum Act 1998 provides for the preparation of this information on referendums for people with disabilities, including an easy-to-read format for people with intellectual disabilities. That is something I have seen used regularly in the disability sector, particularly the easy-to-read format for people with intellectual disabilities. They have found it helpful and that has increased the participation of people with disabilities in elections. We have a long way to go and I accept the points made.
