UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: review of immigration reservation (March to June 2011)

When the UK ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, it lodged a reservation in relation to immigration functions. It agreed to review the reservation 12 months after ratification to assess whether there was a continued need for it in practice.

The review has now begun. As part of the review, the government opened this consultation asking for the views of disabled people and of external partners with an interest in these issues, so it is able to take these views into account.

The consultation closed on 13 June 2011.
