I find myself meeting Mr. Herrick and Dr. Elliott again as I was involved at the meeting yesterday evening. I thank them for coming back again. It is lovely to meet Dr. McDonagh.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the Committee on Children and Equality, we were discussing the Equality Acts. Will the changes to the Equality Acts requiring disabled people to be paid the same as everybody else make a difference or will the status quo remain because that is being made up with the wage subsidy scheme? Will the changes to the Acts create any meaningful difference for disabled people at work?
