I have some brief comments. I congratulate the hon. Member for Brighton, Kemptown on introducing the Bill. I am very happy to support it.

To my hon. Friend the Member for Poplar and Limehouse, I want to say that one person who would not have been a West Ham United supporter is my predecessor, the former Member for Manchester  Wythenshawe, the late Lord Morris of Manchester. The hon. Member for Brighton, Kemptown is bringing forward legislation that amends Lord Morris’s Bill, which became the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970. If you would permit me, Mr Gray, this is the first opportunity I have had since Lord Morris sadly died during the summer to pay tribute to him. It is timely to bring forward the Bill now. It will make the administration of the badge more effective, consistent and of more use to disabled people. It will stand as yet another tribute to Lord Morris for the groundbreaking legislation that he brought forward, which transformed the circumstances of millions of disabled people in this country and throughout the world. It also changed the mindset of whole societies in relation to disabled people. I hope the Committee will not mind if I take this opportunity—the first I have had—to pay tribute to Lord Morris of Manchester for the tremendous work he did for disabled people. It will be enhanced by the Bill.
