Independent Living Fund

EDM number 341 in 2010-12, proposed by Katy Clark on 29/06/2010.

That this House supports the Independent Living Fund in providing financial support to those with disabilities in the UK; notes that the fund currently provides vital support for over 21,000 people; welcomes the support which the fund has received from Government in recent years; expresses deep concern however that due to the rising cost of care the fund has had to close to new applicants for the remainder of the financial year; and calls on the Government to increase the funding to the Independent Living Fund to allow it to continue providing support to all who require it.

This motion has been signed by a total of 75 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
