MP supports Autism Bill and continues to raise awareness of the condition

Friday 6th March 2009

Windsor MP Adam Afriyie has shown his support for those with autism once again, by voting for the recent Autism Bill in Parliament. The Bill, which passed by a majority of 106 votes, aims to combat the deficiencies of Autism Service Provision including the lack of local information about children and young people with autism and the failure of local agencies to include their needs in the planning of services. 

Mr Afriyie has been very active on the issue for several years, even re-arranging his diary commitments to attend the second reading of the Bill last week.

Speaking recently, Mr Afriyie said:

‘With people close to me and many constituents affected by autism, I feel very strongly about the issue and am therefore by last weeks result.  

Yet this is just the start of combating the shortfalls of autism service provision and  I will continue to raise awareness of the issue both in Parliament and the constituency. By working together we can help improve the quality of life of those with autism.’

I believe

People are happier when making their own decisions.

Business is the engine of the economy that generates our jobs, incomes and taxes.

Government should not interfere in our lives beyond protecting and defending us.
