 For too long, I believe a voice of disabled people in Scotland have not been sufficiently heard. With approximately one in five of Scotland's population defined as disabled, this voice should be loud and clear. I am Jeremy Barfer, MSP for Lovian, and I am consulting on a draft proposal for a Member's Bill that would establish a disability commissioner for Scotland. Under my proposal, the commissioners would promote and safeguard the rights of all disabled people, advocate on behalf of disabled people at a national level, and work to ensure the rights of disabled people are respected and upheld. My consultation is open and I would like to hear from as many people as possible, so please do let me know your views. Thank you.
