The question of signing the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities is being examined by my Department in consultation with all relevant Departments and the Attorney General's Office with a view to an early decision in the matter. The necessary examination has been arranged as a preliminary step to seeking a Government decision for approval to sign the Convention.
