Our badges were confiscated for being too political in Parliament!

Three activists holding protest materials outside Parliament, advocating for disability rights.

On 7th May 2025, DPAC Activists Paula, Sophia and Andy (pictured here went to Parliament to support disability rights activists giving evidence at the DWP Select Committee and then show solidarity to Diane Abbott MP who held the Westminster Hall debate on PIP

There were no problems at security at Portcullis House. But it was a very hostile and horrible experience at Parliament.

Activists had bags searched contents tipped out. Leaflets, badges and a copy of John Pring Book The Department confiscated for being too political

It was a distressing experience. Note books searched. Medication checked and asked what it was for.

We only got these items back when we were escorted from the Parliament estate

Complaints have been lodged.
