answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government believes that political parties have the prime responsibility for supporting their disabled candidates. There will be ways that the Government can help, which is why the Minister for Women and Equalities announced that the Government Equalities Office will, with others, undertake a programme of work in this area. Within 12 months, we hope to have political parties offering and advertising support, as well as solutions to help independent candidates.

Further details will be announced in due course.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins grouped question UIN 160178 question first answered 09/07/2018 13:47:09 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
