Proceeding contribution from Siobhan Baillie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 4 February 2022. It occurred during Debate on bill on Down Syndrome Bill.

Down Syndrome Bill

I am grateful for that intervention. I am thrilled—I have seen you listening intently, and it is wonderful to have you here today, Heidi.

I will draw to a close, but I believe we must all learn from people with Down syndrome. We will genuinely be a better society for having done so. I commend my right hon. Friend the Member for North Somerset and I thank charities such as the Down’s Syndrome Association—there are many charities that I should have had a big list of, and I apologise that I do not. I also love the Down Syndrome Swimming GB Twitter and Instagram accounts, and enjoy following them.

I thank the Government for listening and taking action. I look forward to seeing this Bill progress to Royal Assent.
