1. Draft Disability Discrimination Regulations

The Chairman advised that he had discussed alternative options with the Minister for Social Security regarding the Panel's intention to call in the Regulations. In that regard the Panel agreed that the debate on the legislation  would  continue  with  an  amendment  from  the  Minister  to remove the exemption for addiction. It was noted that the Minister would also ask the next Minister to work with the successor Panel in order to give detailed consideration to including a different exemption as a priority.
