The Bishop of Leicester asked a question on reasonable adjustments for those with disabilities in the workforce on 9th January 2025, during a discussion on assessments of eligibility for benefits claimants:
The Lord Bishop of Leicester: My Lords, the Government have made clear their ambition to get more people with health conditions and disabilities into work. What plans are in place to ensure employers consistently implement the reasonable adjustments required of them in the Equality Act and do not discriminate against disabled people?
Lord Cryer (Lab): I appreciate the question, but the right reverend Prelate would have to be more specific. Employers come under the Equality Act, and therefore, like anybody in the country, have to abide by the existing legal framework. If there are any specific areas where there is evidence that employers are not complying with the legal framework, he would have to raise those specifically.
