Following a period of consideration and discussion and the winding up of the statutory Disability Committee on 31 March 2017 under the Equality Act 2006 (Dissolution of the Disability Committee) Order 2014 (SI No.406), the Board of the EHRC decided to abolish the role of ‘Disability Commissioner’ at its meeting on 11 May 2017. We will, however, ensure that disabled people continue to be represented on the EHRC.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 03/11/2017 12:08:15 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
