The Gibraltar Disability Society was invited to meet with Chief Minister Mr Fabian Picardo at No 6 last week to discuss the Disability Legislation Bill. Also present was Minister Samantha Sacramento and Director of Equality Mr Albert Bruzon. The Society was assured by the Chief Minister that a second draft of the legislation, produced after the public consultation in October 2015, will be ready by the last week in October. Although there will be no second public consultation this draft will be presented to the GFBS, Chamber and the Society for consultation. It could be possible for changes to be made to this draft should any of these groups make a valid reason for any change. The Disability Society will, as it always has, make all possible effort to ensure that the rights of the disabled in our community is paramount. We have been assured that said legislation will be put before Parliament in the 3rd week of December 2016.
