answer text

<p>We are fully committed to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The UK as a general principle does not incorporate international treaties into domestic law. However, the Equality Act 2010 (EA2010) enshrines the rights of people in Great Britain with any of nine protected characteristics to live free from discrimination, harassment or victimisation and have equal opportunities in domestic law. The decision to withdraw from the EU does not change this.</p>
